The SPL implementation for SPEAr600 is older than the common SPL
infrastructure. This patch now moves the SPEAr600 SPL over to the
common SPL code.
Tested on the only SPEAr board that currently uses SPL in mainline
U-Boot, the x600.

Exception handling is basically identical for all ARM targets.
Factorize it out of the various start.S files and into a
single vectors.S file, and adjust linker scripts accordingly.

This prevents references to _end from generating absolute
relocation records.
This change is binary invariant for ARM targets.

Current LDS files /DISCARD/ a lot of sections when linking ELF
files, causing diagnostic tools such as readelf or objdump to
produce partial output. Keep all section at link stage, filter
only at objcopy time so that .bin remains minimal.

Discard all .dynsym sections from linker scripts
Remove all __dynsym_start definitions from linker scripts
Remove all __dynsym_start references from the codebase
Note: this touches include/asm-generic/sections.h, which
is not ARM-specific, but actual uses of __dynsym_start
are only in ARM, so this patch can safely go through
the ARM repository.

Let all ARM linker scripts handle properly -ffunction-sections
and -fdata-sections. This will be useful for future changes in order to create
symbol-specific sections in common .S files.

Albert's rework of the linker scripts conflicted with Simon's making
everyone use __bss_end. We also had a minor conflict over
README.scrapyard being added to in mainline and enhanced in
u-boot-arm/master with proper formatting.

Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures.
At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems
inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead.
Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This
makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all
archs.

Many SPL linker scripts needlessly include linker lists (aka LGAs).
Remove them whenever possible; keep it only in the seven am335x_evm
variants (am335x_evm, am335x_evm_uart[1-5], am335x_evm_spiboot),
where there is actual content in output section .u_boot_list.
This commit keeps all u-boot.bin and u-boot-spl.bin in ARM targets
byte-identical.

The command declaration now uses the new LG-array method to generate
list of commands. Thus the __u_boot_cmd section is now superseded and
redundant and therefore can be removed. Also, remove externed symbols
associated with this section from include/command.h .

Add section for the linker-generated lists into all possible linker
files, so that everyone can easily use these lists. This is mostly
a mechanical adjustment.

This patch adds SPL support for SPEAr600. Currently only SNOR
(Serial NOR) flash support is included. Other boot devices
(NAND, MMC, USB ...) may be added with later patches.
Tested on the STM SPEAr600 evaluation and x600 SPEAr600 boards.
