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.

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.

Add data cache support for arm1136 systems.
Enable "cache" command on Qong board and test performance.
Test 1: Loading 127 MB of data from NAND flash into RAM:
Instr. Cache off on on
Data Cache off off on
--------------------------------------------------
QONG (ARM11) 177s 95s 43s = x 4.1
Test 2: uncompressing a gzipped image from RAM to RAM
(size compressed: 6.5 MiB, uncompressed: 35 MiB):
Instr. Cache off on on
Data Cache off off on
--------------------------------------------------
QONG (ARM11) 1.54s 0.95s 0.18s = x 8.6

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.

The ARM1136 cache_flush() function uses the "mcr p15, 0, rn, c7, c7, 0"
instruction which means "Invalidate Both Caches" when in fact the intent
is to clean and invalidate all caches. So add an "mcr p15, 0, %0, c7,
c10, 0" instruction to "Clean Entire Data Cache" prior to the "Invalidate
Both Caches" instruction to insure that memory is consistent with any
dirty cache lines.
Also fix a couple of "flush v*" comments in ARM1136 cpu_init_crit() so
that they correctly describe the actual ARM1136 CP15 C7 Cache Operations
used.
