When your emulator is connected at reset (or is used to load u-boot)
it is possible to get the relocation address from the gd->relocaddr
since gd is always in r8 (on ARM) it is addressable before the
gdb has remapped symbols.
Document this alternate method in-line with the original method
written by Heiko Schocher.

The bdinfo command prints the relocaddr on ARM as it does
on PPC.
Update the debugging instructions for arm relocation to
reflect this fact rather than requiring that the user
rebuild the u-boot image using -DDEBUG.

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.

By now, the majority of architectures have working relocation
support, so the few remaining architectures have become exceptions.
To make this more obvious, we make working relocation now the default
case, and flag the remaining cases with CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC.

Commit 14d0a02a "Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE" missed a
few places, especially for boards that were added inbetween. Fix the
remaining issues.

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.

ELF relocation tables generated with linker option -pie can
be used to fixup code and data in a single loop at relocation,
removing the need for manual fixups anywhere else in the code.

Change the implementation for arm926 to relocate the code to
an arbitrary address in RAM.
Adapt the TX25 (i.MX25), magnesium board to test the changes.
On the tx25 board TEXT_BASE is set to the final relocation
address to prevent one more copying of u-boot code
when relocating. More info see:

!! This breaks support for all arm boards !!
To compile in old style, you must define
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC or you can compile
with "CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC=1 ./MAKEALL board"
!! This define will be removed soon, so convert your
board to use relocation support
