62e92077a8 arm: support Thumb-1 with CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
When building a Thumb-1-only target with CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD,
some files fail to build, most of the time because they include
mcr instructions, which only exist for Thumb-2.

This patch introduces a Kconfig option CONFIG_THUMB2 and uses
it to select between Thumb-2 and ARM mode for the aforementioned
files.

75d7a0d7f1 arm: build arch memset/memcpy in Thumb2 mode
Resynchronize memcpy/memset with kernel 3.17 and build them in
Thumb2 mode (unified syntax). Those assembler files can be built
and linked in ARM mode too, however when calling them from Thumb2
built code, the stack got corrupted and the copy did not succeed
(the exact details have not been traced back). However, the Linux
kernel builds those files in Thumb2 mode. Hence U-Boot should
build them in Thumb2 mode too when CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is set.

To build the files without warning, some assembler instructions
had to be replaced with their UAL compliant variant (thanks
Jeroen for this input).

To build the file in Thumb2 mode the implicit-it=always option need
to be set to generate Thumb2 compliant IT instructions where needed.
We add this option to the general AFLAGS when building for Thumb2.

d8834a1323 arm: Use optimized memcpy and memset from linux
Using optimized versions of memset and memcpy from linux brings a quite
noticeable speed (x2 or better) improvement for these two functions.

Here are some numbers for test done with jadecpu
