This patch adds the necessary lowlevel init code, to enable SMP Linux
booting. This code will be used with the platform specific Octeon Linux
boot command "bootoctlinux", which starts a configurable number of cores
into Linux.
Additionally some erratas and lowlevel register initializations are
copied from the original Cavium / Marvell U-Boot source code, enabling
booting into the Linux kernel.

This patch adds the code to copy itself from bootrom location to a
different location (TEXT_BASE) to the Octeon platform. Its used in
this case to copy the complete U-Boot image into L2 cache, which
greatly improves the bootup time - especially in regard to the
very long and complex DDR4 init code.
The Kconfig symbol CONFIG_MIPS_MACH_EARLY_INIT is enabled with this
patch for Octeon.

This patch adds very basic support for the Octeon III SoCs. Only
CFI parallel NOR flash and UART is supported for now.
Please note that the basic Octeon port does not include the DDR3/4
initialization yet. This will be added in some follow-up patches
later. To still use U-Boot on with this port, the L2 cache (4MiB on
Octeon III CN73xx) is used as RAM. This way, U-Boot can boot to the
prompt on such boards.
