The ARM kernel supports writethrough data cache via the
CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH option. However, that
functionality wasn't implemented in the arch/arm/boot/compressed
code. It is now necessary due to a new ARM926EJS processor
that has an issue with writeback data cache.

To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from
the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are
used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can
be marked static unless they're also const.
To enforce this, suffice to fail the build whenever a private symbol
is allocated to .bss and list those symbols for convenience.
The user_stack and user_stack_end labels in head.S were converted into
non exported symbols to remove false positives.

In commit d239b1dc09 the hardcoded 4x estimate for the decompressed
kernel size was replaced by the exact Image file size and passed to
the linker as a symbol value. Turns out that this is unneeded as the
size is already included at the end of the compressed piggy data.
For those compressed formats that don't include this data, the build
system already takes care of appending it using size_append in
scripts/Makefile.lib. So let's use that instead.

If the zImage load address is slightly below the relocation address,
there is a risk for the copied data to overwrite the copy loop or
cache flush code that the relocation process requires. Always
bump the relocation address by the size of that code to avoid this
issue.
Noticed by Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>.
While at it, let's start the copy from the restart symbol which makes
the above code size computation possible by the assembler directly
(same sections), given that we don't need to preserve the code before
that point anyway. And therefore we don't need to carry the _start
pointer in r5 anymore.

The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 are purely
optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with the pc sets the
condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register being read. It
just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC support code is
testing for are high enough in the register to be put into the
condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't
implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test
operations to check for TX/RX full. Thus, we can drop the v7
implementation and just use the v6 implementation for both.

In the case of a conflict between the memory used by the compressed
kernel with its decompressor code and the memory used for the
decompressed kernel, we currently store the later after the former and
relocate it afterwards.
This would be more efficient to do this the other way around i.e.
relocate the compressed data up front instead, resulting in a smaller
copy. That also has the advantage of making the code smaller and more

The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a
32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic
number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address.
This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the
size of the initial padding NOPs changes.
Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to
ARM.
In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a
sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point.
As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no
special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the
Thumb-2 case.

As long as the zImage is placed within the 128MB range from the start of
memory, ZRELADDR (Address where the decompressed kernel will be placed,
usually == PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET) can be determined at run-time by
masking PC with 0xf80000000.
Running through all the Makefile.boot, all those zreladdr-y
addresses == 0x[0-f][08]00_0000 + TEXT_OFFSET can be determined at
run-time.
Option CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR and CONFIG_ZRELADDR are introduced,
CONFIG_ZRELADDR _must_ be explicitly specified if:
- ((zreladdr-y - TEXT_OFFSET) & ~0xf8000000) != 0, which means
masking PC with 0xf8000000 will result in an incorrect address.
Currently this is only a problem on u300.
- or the assumption of the zImage being loaded by the bootloader within
the first 128MB of RAM is incorrect
- or when ZBOOT_ROM is used, where the above assumption is usually wrong.

Commit 2552fc2 changed the way the decompressor decides if it is safe
to decompress the kernel directly to its final location. Unfortunately,
it took the top of the compressed data as being the stack pointer,
which it is for ROM=n cases. However, for ROM=y, the stack pointer
is not relevant, and results in the wrong answer.
Fix this by explicitly storing the end of the biggybacked data in the
decompressor, and use that to calculate the compressed image size.

3. Devices are a bit different from the 'mach-pxa' way, the platform
devices are now dynamically allocated only when necessary (i.e.
when pxa_register_device() is called). Description for each device
are stored in an array of 'struct pxa_device_desc'. Now that:
a. this array of device description is marked with __initdata and
can be freed up system is fully up
b. which means board code has to add all needed devices early in
his initializing function
c. platform specific data can now be marked as __initdata since
they are allocated and copied by platform_device_add_data()
4. only the basic UART1/2/3 are added, more devices will come later.
