arm: implement ELF relocations

ELF relocation tables generated with linker option -pie can
be used to fixup code and data in a single loop at relocation,
removing the need for manual fixups anywhere else in the code.

 To make relocation on arm working, the following changes are done:
 
-Add new compilerflag:
+At arch level: add linker flag -pie
 
--fPIC
+	This causes the linker to generate fixup tables .rel.dyn and .dynsym,
+	which must be applied to the relocated image before transferring
+	control to it.
 
-	-> compiler generates position independent code
+	These fixups are described in the ARM ELF documentation as type 23
+	(program-base-relative) and 2 (symbol-relative)
 
-changes in board code:
+At cpu level: modify linker file and add a relocation and fixup loop
 
-- dram_init:
-  - bd pointer is now at this point not accessible, so only
-    detect the real dramsize, and store it in gd->ram_size.
-    best detected with get_ram_size();
-    ToDo: move there also the dram initialization on boards where
-          it is possible.
-  - setup the bd_t dram bank info in the new function
-    dram_init_banksize().
+	the linker file must be modified to include the .rel.dyn and .dynsym
+	tables in the binary image, and to provide symbols for the relocation
+	code to access these tables
 
-- board.c code is adapted from ppc code
+	The relocation and fixup loop must be executed after executing
+	board_init_f at initial location and before executing board_init_r
+	at final location.
 
-- undef CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS
+At board level:
 
-  -> cmdtabl, and subcommand table must be handled from "hand"
-     collected in section "__datarellocal_start".
+	dram_init(): bd pointer is now at this point not accessible, so only
+	detect the real dramsize, and store it in gd->ram_size. Bst detected
+	with get_ram_size().
 
-  - How To fixup the sections:
+TODO:	move also dram initialization there on boards where it is possible.
 
-    __datarel_start, __datarelrolocal_start, __datarellocal_start and
-    __datarelro_start
+	Setup of the the bd_t dram bank info is done in the new function
+	dram_init_banksize() called after bd is accessible.
 
-    automatically? Then it should be possible to define again
-    CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS
+At lib level:
 
-- irq stack setup is now not longer on a fix position, instead it is
-  calculated in board_init_f, and stored in gd->irq_sp
+	Board.c code is adapted from ppc code

+How ELF relocations 23 and 2 work.
 
-e) now we look in 8ff5fcc0 (RAM)
-
-
-QongEVB>md 0x8ff5fcc0
-8ff5fcc0 : a005b4cc a000faf0 a005d6f0 a0058610  ................
-           ^^^^^^^^
-           Bingo, here we have the old flash address (when relocation
-           is working, here is the fixed ram address. see @ f, how
-           it gets calculated)
-
-
-----------------------------------------
-
-f) now translate it in the new RAM address
-
-  a005b4cc
-
-- a0000000     TextBase
-
-+ 8ff08000     new address of u-boot in ram
-----------
-  8ff634cc
-
-QongEVB>mm 0x8ff5fcc0 0x8ff634cc 1
-QongEVB>md 0x8ff5fcc0
-8ff5fcc0 : 8ff634cc a000faf0 a005d6f0 a0058610  .4..............
-8ff5fcd0 : a00616a4 a00564dc a0058618 a0054852  .....d......RH..
-
-As this must be done for all address in the GOT, the u-boot
-code did this automagically ... :-)
-
-----------------------------------------------
-
-g) check if the new address is really in the bss section:
-
-bss start:
-8ff6054c	(8ff08000 + 0005854C monitorlen)
-
-bss end:
-8ff698ac	(8ff08000 + 618AC)
-
-8ff634cc is in bss :-)
-
-----------------------------------------------
-
-h) u-boot prints:
-
-important  addresses:
-
-U-Boot code: A0000000 -> A005854C  BSS: -> A00618AC	TextBase 0xa0000000
-Now running in RAM - U-Boot at: 8ff08000		relocBase 0x8ff08000
