For SPL it is sometimes useful to have a simple malloc() just to permit
driver model to work, in the cases where the full malloc() is not made
available by the board config.

Commit 3ff46cc4 fixed exception vectors setting in
the general ARM case, by either copying the exception
and indirect vector tables to normal (0x00000000) or
high (0xFFFF0000) vectors address, or setting VBAR to
U-Boot's base if applicable.
i.MX27 SoC is ARM926E-JS, thus has only normal and
high options, but does not provide RAM at 0xFFFF0000
and has only ROM at 0x00000000; it is therefore not
possible to move or change its exception vectors.
Besides, i.MX27 ROM code does provide an indirect
vectors table but at a non-standard address and with
the reset and reserved vectors missing.
Turn the current vector relocation code into a weak
routine called after relocate_code from crt0, and add
strong version for i.MX27.

At present arm defines CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA, meaning that
the global_data pointer is set up in board_init_f(). However it is
actually set up before this, it just isn't zeroed.
If we zero the global data before calling board_init_f() then we
don't need to define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA.
Make this change (on arm32 only) to simplify the init process. I
don't have the ability to test aarch64 yet.

Building some arm boards with older binutils may produce errors like this:
---8<---
crt0.S: Assembler messages:
crt0.S:70: Error: register expected, not '#(184)' -- `sub sp,#(184)'
--->8---
Use canonical version of the subtract mnemonic to avoid those issues.

To be more EABI compliant and as a preparation for building
with clang, use the platform-specific r9 register for gd
instead of r8.
note: The FIQ is not updated since it is not used in u-boot,
and under discussion for the time being.
The following checkpatch warning is ignored:
WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see

Commit e05e5de7fa made the 2 1st parameters of
ARM's relocate_code() useless since it moved the code handling them to crt0.S.
So, drop these parameters.

The purpose of .globl is to export symbols for ld, not to declare external
symbols.
By the way, use the ENTRY() and ENDPROC() macros to define functions rather than
using .global directly.

Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures.
At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems
inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead.
Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This
makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all
archs.

Move all the C runtime setup code from every start.S
in arch/arm into arch/arm/lib/crt0.S. This covers
the code sequence from setting up the initial stack
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.
