The bcm2835 and bcm2836 are essentially identical, except:
- The CPU is an ARM1176 v.s. a quad-core Cortex-A7.
- The physical address of many IO controllers has moved.
Rather than introducing a whole new bcm2836 value for $(SOC) or $(ARCH),
update the existing bcm2835 code to handle the minor differences, and
plumb it into the ARMv7 CPU architecture.

Apparently, CONFIG_SYS_HZ must be 1000. Change this, and fix the timer
driver to conform to this.
Have the timer implementation export a custom API get_timer_us() for use
by the BCM2835 MMC API, which needs us resolution for a HW workaround.

This SoC is used in the Raspberry Pi, for example.
For more details, see:

Initial support is enough to boot to a serial console, execute a minimal
set of U-Boot commands, download data over a serial port, and boot a
Linux kernel. No storage or network drivers are implemented.

with many fixes from myself.
