Disabling relocation might be useful on ARC for 2 reasons:
a) For advanced debugging with Synopsys proprietary MetaWare debugger
which is capable of accessing much more specific hardware resources
compared to gdb. For example it may show contents of L1 and L2 caches,
internal states of some hardware blocks etc.
But on the downside MetaWare debugger still cannot work with PIE.
Even though that limitation could be work-arounded with change of ELF's
header and stripping down all debug info but with it we won't have
debug info for source-level debugging which is quite inconvenient.
b) Some platforms which might benefit from usage of U-Boot basically
don't have enough RAM to accommodate relocation of U-Boot so we
keep code in flash and use as much of RAM as possible for more
interesting things.

This commit basically reverts two commits:
1. cf628f772e ("arc: arcv1: Disable master/slave check")
2. 6cba327bd9 ("arcv2: Halt non-master cores")
With mentioned commits in-place we experience more trouble than
benefits. In case of SMP Linux kernel this is really required as
we have all the cores running from the very beginning and then we
need to allow master core to do some preparatory work while slaves
are not getting in the way.
In case of U-Boot we:
a) Don't really run more than 1 core in parallel
b) We may use whatever core for that

U-Boot is a bit special piese of software because it is being
only executed once on power-on as compared to operating system
for example. That's why we don't care much about performance
optimizations instead we're more concerned about size. And up-to-date
compilers might produce much smaller code compared to
performance-optimized routines copy-pasted from the Linux kernel.
Here's an example:
------------------------------->8--------------------------

We'd like to keep IOC HW at the same state as t is right after reset when we
start Linux kernel so there will be no re-configuration of IOC on the go.
The point is U-Boot doesn't benefit a lot from IOC as it doesn't do a
lot of DMA operations especially on multiple cores simultaneously.
At the same time re-configuration of IOC in run-time might become quite
a tricky experience because we need to make sure there're no DMA
trannsactions in flight otherwise unexpected consequencses might affect
us much later and debugging those kinds of issues will be a real
nightmare.

Previous SLC management implementation is broken. Seems like it was
never sufficiently tested probably because most of the time IOC was used
instead (i.e. no manual cache operations were done).
Now if we disable IOC in U-boot we'll get a lot of errors while using
DMA-enabled peripherals.
This time we fix it by substitution of broken per-line SLC operations
region operations as it is done in the Linux kernel (we took it from
v4.14 which is the latest stable as of today).
Among other things this implementation might be a bit faster because
instead of iteration over each and every cache line we're taking care
about entire region in one go.
Main changes:
* Replaced __slc_line_op (per line operations) by __slc_rgn_op
(region operations).
* Reworked __slc_entire_op to get rid of __after_slc_op and
__before_slc_op functions.
Note flush fix (flush only instead of flush-n-inv when OP_FLUSH is
used, see [1] for more details) is already incorporated here.
* Added SLC invalidation to invalidate_icache_all().
* Added (start >= end) check to invalidate_dcache_range() and
flush_dcache_range() as some buggy drivers pass region start == end.
* Added read-out of MMU BCR so we may know if PAE40 exists in HW and then
act on a particular AUX regs accordingly.

dcache_exists, icache_exists, slc_exists and ioc_exists global
variables in "arch/arc/lib/cache.c" remain uninitialized if
SoC doesn't have corresponding HW.
This happens because we use the next constructions for their
definition and initialization:
-------------------------->>---------------------
int ioc_exists __section(".data");
if (/* condition */)
ioc_exists = 1;
-------------------------->>---------------------
That's quite a non-trivial issue as one may think of it.
The point is we intentionally put those variables in ".data" section
so they might survive relocation (remember we initilaize them very early
before relocation and continue to use after reloaction). While being
non-initialized and not explicitly put in .data section they would end-up
in ".bss" section which by definition is filled with zeroes.
But since we place those variables in .data section we need to care
about their proper initialization ourselves.
Also while at it we change their type to "bool" as more appropriate.

ARC core could be configured with different L1 and L2 (AKA SLC) cache
line lengths. At least these values are possible and were really used:

Current implementation requires cache line to be selected upon U-Boot
configuration and then it will only work on matching hardware. Indeed
this is quite efficient because cache line length gets hardcoded during
code compilation. But OTOH it makes binary less portable.

early in runtime and use this value later on. This extends portability

With new SMP-enabled CPUs with ARC HS38 cores and corresponding support
in Linux kernel it's required to add basic SMP support in U-Boot.
Currently we assume the one and only core starts execution after
power-on. So most of things in U-Boot is handled in UP mode.
But when U-Boot is used for loading and starting Linux kernel right
before jumping to kernel's entry point U-Boot:
[1] Sets all slave cores to jump to the same address [kernel's entry
point]
[2] Really starts all slav cores
In ARC's implemetation of SMP in Linux kernel all cores are supposed to
run the same start-up code. But only core with ID 0 (master core)
processes further while others are looping waiting for master core to
complete some initialization.
That means it's safe to un-pause slave cores and let them execute kernel
- they will wait for master anyway.

This is important to have entry point in the beginning of .text section
because it allows simple loading and execution of U-Boot.
For example pre-bootloader loads U-Boot in memory starting from offset
0x81000000 and then just jumps to the same address.
Otherwise pre-bootloader would need to find-out where entry-point is. In
its turn if it deals with binary image of U-Boot there's no way for
pre-bootloader to get required value.

ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache).
This change adds functions required for controlling SLC:

For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either:
