b823fd9ba5 ARM: prevent misaligned array inits
Under option -munaligned-access, gcc can perform local char
or 16-bit array initializations using misaligned native
accesses which will throw a data abort exception. Fix files
where these array initializations were unneeded, and for
files known to contain such initializations, enforce gcc
option -mno-unaligned-access.

[trini: Switch to usign call cc-option for -mno-unaligned-access as
Albert had done previously as that's really correct]

28e5ac2d97 arm: armv7: temporarily set -mno-unaligned-access
This patch aims at ensuring that the 2012.10 release works
out-of-the-box on as many targets as possible, by reinstating
commit 5347560f5427bcdd48a563b62180481606ac8044, which adds
option -mno-unaligned-access to armv7 builds.

This patch will be overriden immediately after release of 2012.10.

c50afc1dab Revert "arm: armv7: add compile option -mno-unaligned-access if available"
This reverts commit 5347560f5427bcdd48a563b62180481606ac8044,
which was applied only to get release 2012.07 functional on as
many ARM targets as possible despite mis-aligned accesses.

5eb497429e arm: armv7: add compile option -mno-unaligned-access if available
Recent compiler generates unaligned memory access in armv7 default.
But current U-Boot does not allow unaligned memory access, so it causes
data abort exception.
This patch add compile option "-mno-unaligned-access" if it is available.

f61faeba82 armv7: Use -march=armv7-a and thereby enable Thumb-2
Enable -march=armv7-a for armv7 platforms if the tool-chain
supports it. This in turn results in Thumb-2 code generated
for these platforms if CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is enabled.

38fcc71cc5 ARM: add u-boot.imx as target for i.MX SOCs
Freescale SOCs require an header to u-boot.bin

The patch adds u-boot.imx to the default targets
if the imx file is set (IMX_CONFIG).

cca4e4aec1 Reduce build times
U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again.  On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.

This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.

Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
	-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
	-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l

	Before: After:	Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555	15205	-26%
qong	31692	14490	-54%

As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.

f56348af5d ARM: Rename arch/arm/cpu/arm_cortexa8 to armv7
The purpose of this patch is to prepare for adding the OMAP4 architecture, which is Cortex A9

Cortex A8 and A9 both belong to the armv7 architecture, hence the name change.

The two architectures are similar enough that substantial code can be shared.
