This separation makes maintenance of code easier because those low-level
interrupt- or exception handling routines are pretty static and usually
require not much care while start-up code is a subject of modifications
and enhancements.

Even though ARCompact and ARCv2 are not binary compatible most of
assembly instructions are used in both. With this change we'll get rid
of duplicate code.
Still IVTs are implemented differently so we're keeping them in separate
files.

Make both invalidate_icache_all() and invalidate_dcache_all() available
even if U-Boot is configured with CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF and/or
CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF.
This is useful because configuration of U-Boot may not match actual
hardware features. Real board may have cache(s) but for some reason we
may want to run U-Boot with cache(s) disabled (for example if some
peripherals work improperly with existing drivers if data cache is
enabled). So board may start with cache(s) enabled (that's the case for
ARC cores with built-in caches) but early in U-Boot we disable cache(s)
and make sure all contents of data cache gets flushed in RAM.

This way we may have very limited set of functions implemented so we
save some space.
Also it allows us to build U-Boot for any ARC core with the same one
toolchain because we don't rely on pre-built libgcc.
For example:
* we may use little-endian toolchain but build U-Boot for ether
endianess
* we may use non-multilibbed uClibc toolchain but build U-Boot for
whatever ARC CPU flavour that current GCC supports
Private libgcc built from generic C implementation contributes only 144
bytes to .text section so we don't see significant degradation of size:
--->8---
$ arc-linux-size u-boot.libgcc-prebuilt
text data bss dec hex filename
222217 24912 214820 461949 70c7d u-boot.libgcc-prebuilt
$ arc-linux-size u-boot.libgcc-private
text data bss dec hex filename
222361 24912 214820 462093 70d0d u-boot.libgcc-private
--->8---
Also I don't notice visible performance degradation compared to
pre-built libgcc (where at least "*div*" functions are had-written in
assembly) on typical operations of downloading 10Mb uImage over TFTP and
bootm.

This change allows to keep board description clean and minimalistic.
This is especially helpful if one board may house different CPUs with
different features.
It is applicable to both FPGA-based boards or those that have CPUs
mounted on interchnagable daughter-boards.

It's prohibited to put branch instruction in the very end of zero-delay
loop. On execution this causes "Illegal instruction" exception.

"reset.c" and "cpu.c" have no architecture-specific code at all.
Others are applicable to either ARC CPU.
This change is a preparation to submission of ARCv2 architecture port.
Even though ARCv1 and ARCv2 ISAs are not binary compatible most of
built-in modules still have the same programming model - AUX registers
are mapped in the same addresses and hold the same data (new featues
extend existing ones).
So only low-level assembly code (start-up, interrupt handlers) is left
as CPU(actually ISA)-specific. This significantyl simplifies maintenance
of multiple CPUs/ISAs.

* use better symbols for relocatable region boundaries
("__image_copy_start" instead of "CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE")
* remove useless debug messages because they will only show up in case
of both problem (when normal "if" branch won't be taken) and DEBUG take
place which is pretty rare situation.

Even though existing implementation works fine in preparation to
submission of ARCv2 architecture we need this change.
In case of ARCv2 interrupt vector table consists of just addresses
of corresponding handlers. And if those addresses will be in .text
section then assembler will encode them as everything in .text section
as middle-endian and then on real execution CPU will read swapped
addresses and will jump into the wild.
Once introduced new section is situated so .text section remains the
first which allows us to use common linker option for linking everything
to a specified CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

In case of little-endian ARC700 instructions (which may include target
address) are encoded as middle-endian. That's why it's required to swap
bytes after read and ten right before write back.
But in case of big-endian ARC700 instructions are encoded as a plain
big-endian. Thus no need for byte swapping.
