      ARM: Auto calculate ZRELADDR and provide option for exceptions · e69edc79
      Eric Miao authored
      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.
      
      [ukleinek: changed mask from 0xf0000000 to 0xf8000000 for mx1 and shark
      + some review fixes from the mailing list]
