A regression was introduced in commit 41623c91. The consequence of that
is the non-relocation of the section .vectors symbols :
_undefined_instruction, _software_interrupt, _prefetch_abort,
_data_abort, _not_used, _irq and _fiq.
Before commit 41623c91, the exception vectors were in a .text section.
The .text section has the attributes allocatable and executable [1].
In commit 41623c91, a specific section is created, called .vectors, with
the attribute executable only.
What have changed between commit 41623c91^ and 41623c91 is the attribute
of the section which contains the exception vectors.
An allocatable section is "a section [that] occupies memory during
process execution" [1] which is the case of the section .vectors.
Adding the lacking attribute (SHF_ALLOC or "a") for the definition of
the section .vectors fixed the issue.
To summarize, the fix has to mark .vectors as allocatable because the
exception vectors reside in "memory during execution" and they need to
be relocated.

The boards using CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG (i.e. calimain,
da850evm_direct_nor and enbw_cmc) had the _start symbol defined after
the CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG word rather than before it in
arch/arm/lib/vectors.S. Because of that, if by lack of luck
'gd->mon_len = (ulong)&__bss_end - (ulong)_start' (see setup_mon_len())
was a multiple of 4 kiB (see reserve_uboot()), then the last BSS word
overlapped the first word of the following reserved RAM area (or went
beyond the top of RAM without such an area) after relocation because
__image_copy_start did not match _start (see relocate_code()).
This was broken by commit 41623c9 'arm: move exception handling out of
start.S files', which defined _start twice (before and after the
CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG word), then by commit 0a26e1d 'arm: fix a
double-definition error of _start symbol', which kept the definition of
the _start symbol after the CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG word. This new
commit fixes this issue by restoring the original behavior, i.e. by
defining the _start symbol before the CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG word.

Some boards, like mx31pdk and tx25, require the beginning of the SPL
code to be position-independent. For these two boards, this is because
they use the i.MX external NAND boot, which starts by executing the
first NAND Flash page from the NFC page buffer. The SPL then needs to
copy itself to its actual link address in order to free the NFC page
buffer and use it to load the non-SPL image from Flash before running
it. This means that the SPL runtime address differs from its link
address between the reset and the initial copy performed by
board_init_f(), so this part of the SPL binary must be
position-independent.
This requirement was broken by commit 41623c9 'arm: move exception
handling out of start.S files', which used an absolute address to branch
to the reset routine. This new commit restores the original behavior,
which just performed a relative branch. This fixes the boot of mx31pdk
and tx25.

Use __image_copy_end instead of __bss_start for the end of the image to
relocate. This is the same as commit 033ca72, but applied to all ARM start.S.
This is a more appropriate symbol naming for an image copy & relocate feature,
and this also saves a useless copy of data put between __image_copy_end and
__bss_start in linker scripts (e.g. relocation information, or MMU
initialization tables used only before jumping to the relocated image).

Move all the C runtime setup code from every start.S

to calling into board_init_r().
Also, rewrite the C runtime setup and make functions
board_init_*() and relocate_code() behave according to
normal C semantics (no jumping across the C stack any
more, etc).
Some SPL targets had to be touched because they use
start.S explicitly or for some reason; the relevant
maintainers and custodians are cc:ed.

For ARM systems, before ELF relocation was introduced,
CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT coul be used to prevent *COPYING* the
U-Boot image from whereever it was loaded to it's link address
(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE). The name was badly chosen, as no relocation
was performed at all, it was just a memcpy().
With ELF relocation, this does not work like that any more, and
related boards need to be fixed anyway. So don't keep this relict any
longer.

When this define was introduced, the idea was to provide a soft
migration path for ARM boards to get adapted to the new relocation
support. However, other recent changes led to a different
implementation (ELF relocation), where this no longer works. By now
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC does not only not help any more, but it
actually hurts because it obfuscates the actual code by sprinkling it
with lots of dead and non-working debris.
So let's make a clean cut and drop CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC.

CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE has always been just a bad workarond for not
being able to use "sizeof(struct global_data)" in assembler files.
Recent experience has shown that manual synchronization is not
reliable enough. This patch renames CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE into
GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE which gets automatically generated by the
asm-offsets tool. In the result, all definitions of this value can be
deleted from the board config files. We have to make sure that all
files that reference such data include the new <asm-offsets.h> file.
No other changes have been done yet, but it is obvious that similar
changes / simplifications can be done for other, related macro
