This patch modifies start.S for the arm1136 to make it
conform to start.S in armv7 architecture, to make it
usable if the SPL framework is used.

In currently, when __bss_start is equal to __bss_end__,
The bss loop will clear all the things in memory space.
But just only when __bss_end__ greater than __bss_start__,
we do the clear bss section operation.

There was a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-8859 files in the U-Boot source
tree, which could cause issues with the patchwork review system.
This commit converts all ISO-8859 files to UTF-8.

Replace the cache related CONFIG flags with more meaningful
names. Following are the changes:
CONFIG_L2_OFF -> CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF
CONFIG_SYS_NO_ICACHE -> CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF
CONFIG_SYS_NO_DCACHE -> CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF

V2:
* Changed CONFIG_L2_OFF -> CONFIG_SYS_NO_L2CACHE
V4:
* Changed all three flags to the final names suggested as above
and accordingly changed the commit message
Monitor protection region in FLASH did not cover .rel.dyn
and .dynsym sections, because it uses __bss_start to compute
monitor_flash_len. Use _end instead.
Add _end to linker scripts for end of u-boot image
Add _end_ofs to all the start.S.

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section. We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

r8 is used for global_data and should therefore be left alone!
For C code the compiler flag --fixed-r8 does the job, but in assembler
we need to be aware of that fact.

In case we are still at relocation target address before relocation we
do not need to load the registers needed for relocation. We should
instead skip the whole relocation part and jump over to clear_bss
immediately.

This patch uses r1 as scratch register for copy_loop(). Therefore we do
not longer need r7 for the storage of relocate_code()'s 'addr_moni' (the
destination address of relocation).
Therefore r7 can be used later on for other purposes.

older ld emitted all ELF relocations in input sections named
.rel.dyn, whereas newer ld uses names of the form .rel*. The
linker script only collected .rel.dyn input sections. Rewrite
to collect all .rel* input sections.

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.

For the "fixloop" implementation in start.S a number of different
instructions was used. Unify code so all architectures use "blo"
here because it is more robust in case of incorrect alignments.

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
definitions as well.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.
Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

The ARM ABI requires that the stack be aligned to 8 bytes as it is noted
in Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042d/index.html
Unaligned SP also causes the problem with variable-length arrays
allocation when VLA address becomes less than stack pointer during
aligning of this address, so the next 'push' in the stack overwrites
first 4 bytes of VLA.

The ARM1136 cache_flush() function uses the "mcr p15, 0, rn, c7, c7, 0"
instruction which means "Invalidate Both Caches" when in fact the intent
is to clean and invalidate all caches. So add an "mcr p15, 0, %0, c7,
c10, 0" instruction to "Clean Entire Data Cache" prior to the "Invalidate
Both Caches" instruction to insure that memory is consistent with any
dirty cache lines.
Also fix a couple of "flush v*" comments in ARM1136 cpu_init_crit() so
that they correctly describe the actual ARM1136 CP15 C7 Cache Operations
used.
