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.

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.

Generalized misuse of ble within relocation and bss
initialization loops caused one iteration too many.
Instead of ble ('branch if lower or equal'), use
blo ('branch if lower').
While we're at it, fix all 'addreee' typos.

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:

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.
