Commit ecc30663 ("Fix board init code to respect the C runtime environment")
breaks x86. This was mentioned on https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/548644
but not addressed. Correct it so that x86 boards boot again.

As of gcc 5.2.1 for Thumb-1, it is not possible any
more to assign gd from C code, as gd is mapped to r9,
and r9 may now be saved in the prolog sequence, and
restored in the epilog sequence, of any C functions.
Therefore arch_setup_gd(), which is supposed to set
r9, may actually have no effect, causing U-Boot to
use a bad address to access GD.
Fix this by never calling arch_setup_gd() for ARM,
and instead setting r9 in arch/arm/lib/crt0.S, to
the value returned by board_init_f_alloc_reserve().

board_init_f_mem() alters the C runtime environment's
stack it is actually already using. This is not a valid
behaviour within a C runtime environment.
Split board_init_f_mem into C functions which do not alter
their own stack and always behave properly with respect to
their C runtime environment.

Prior to commit 5ba534d247 ("arm: Switch 32-bit ARM to using generic
global_data setup") we used to have assembly code that configured the
malloc_base address.
Since this commit we use the board_init_f_mem() function in C to setup
malloc_base address.
In board_init_f_mem() there was a deliberate choice to support only
early malloc() or full malloc() in SPL, but not both.
Adapt this logic to allow both to be used, one after the other, in SPL.
This issue has been observed in a Congatec board, where we need to
retrieve the manufacturing information from the SPI NOR (the SPI API
calls malloc) prior to configuring the DRAM. In this case as malloc_base
was not configured we always see malloc to fail.
With this change we are able to use malloc in SPL prior to DRAM gets
initialized.
Also update the CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START entry in the README file.

Change the #ifdef so that the early malloc() area is not set up in SPL if
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START is defined. In that case it would never actually
be used, and just chews up stack space.

This function will be used by both SPL and U-Boot proper. So move it into
a common place. Also change the #ifdef so that the early malloc() area is
not set up in SPL if CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START is defined. In that case
it would never actually be used, and just chews up stack space.
