My main motivations for this commit are:
[1] Follow the arch/arm/Makefile style of Linux Kernel
[2] Maintain compiler options systematically
Currently, we give -march=* and -mtune=* options inconsistently:
Only some of the CPUs pass -march=* and -mtune=* options.
By collecting such options into the single place arch/arm/Makefile
we can tell which options are missing at a glance.
[3] Prepare for deprecating arch/*/cpu/*/config.mk
Note:
This commit just moves the compiler options so as not to change
the behavior at all. It does not care about the correctness of
the given options. Fox example, "-march=armv5te" might be better
than "-march=armv4" for ARM946EJS, but it is beyond the scope this
commit. Also, filling the missing -march=* and -tune=* is left
to follow-up patches.

When we tell the compiler to optimize for ARMv7 (and ARMv6 for that
matter) it assumes a default of SCTRL.A being cleared and unaligned
accesses being allowed and fast at the hardware level. We set this bit
and must pass along -mno-unaligned-access so that the compiler will
still breakdown accesses and not trigger a data abort.
To better help understand the requirements of the project with respect
to unaligned memory access, the
Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt file has been added as
doc/README.unaligned-memory-access.txt and is taken from the v3.14-rc1
tag of the kernel.

This commit avoids generating ./SPL twice.
- Fist time descending to spl/
- Second time as a prerequisite of u-boot-with-spl.imx,
u-boot-with-nand-spl.imx.

This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.
Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.
That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
$(obj)u-boot.bin: $(obj)u-boot
Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.
And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C <sub-dir>" syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.
On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.
The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.
Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj=<sub-dir>"
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=<sub-dir>" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

Before this commit, all arch/arm/cpu/${CPU}/config.mk except ARMv8
had the same option:
$(call cc-option,-mshort-load-bytes,$(call cc-option,-malignment-traps,))
This commit moves it into arch/arm/config.mk.
If the compiler does not support the option,
it is ignored by $(call cc-option,...).
So this commit gives no harm to ARMv8.

Every ARM cpu config.mk (arch/arm/cpu/{CPUDIR}/config.mk) defines:
PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -fno-common -ffixed-r8 -msoft-float
So, this patch moves the common compiler options to arch/arm/config.mk.

Automatically build the 'u-boot.imx' (i.e. imx header + u-boot.bin) and 'SPL'
(i.e. imx header + u-boot-spl.bin) make targets for all imx processors
supporting this header, so for arm926ejs, arm1136 and armv7. Some combinations
were missing.
At the same time, fix the build of SPL targets not supporting the imx header on
arm1136. For arm1136, the 'SPL' make target was forced to build in all cases if
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD was defined, even for non-imx platforms or imx setups without
an imx header.

When calling 'make u-boot.imx' the build were failing as it were
expecting the full path for the file; this regression has been
included by commit 71a988a (imximage.cfg: run files through C
preprocessor).
The direct references for u-boot.imx were replaced by $(obj) as
config.mk handles the proper setting of it making it set to $(OBJTREE)
when required.
The build has been test using:
- ./MAKEALL -s mx5 -s mx6
- make u-boot.imx
- make O=/tmp/build

The '#' used as comments in the files cause the preprocessor
trouble, so change to /* */.
The mkimage command which uses this preprocessor output
was moved to arch/arm/imx-common/Makefile
.gitignore was updated to ignore .cfgtmp files.

Under option -munaligned-access, gcc can perform local char
or 16-bit array initializations using misaligned native
accesses which will throw a data abort exception. Fix files
where these array initializations were unneeded, and for
files known to contain such initializations, enforce gcc
option -mno-unaligned-access.

This patch aims at ensuring that the 2012.10 release works
out-of-the-box on as many targets as possible, by reinstating
commit 5347560f5427bcdd48a563b62180481606ac8044, which adds
option -mno-unaligned-access to armv7 builds.
This patch will be overriden immediately after release of 2012.10.
This reverts commit 5347560f5427bcdd48a563b62180481606ac8044,
which was applied only to get release 2012.07 functional on as
many ARM targets as possible despite mis-aligned accesses.
Recent compiler generates unaligned memory access in armv7 default.
But current U-Boot does not allow unaligned memory access, so it causes
data abort exception.
This patch add compile option "-mno-unaligned-access" if it is available.

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.
