At least when building with the gnu toolchain, the headers the linker
automatically generate save space for the actual ELF headers in one of the
loadable segments. This creates two problems. First, the data you intended to
be at the start of the image doesn't actually show up there, it's actually the
ELF headers. Second, the ELF headers are essentially useless for firmware
since there's currently nothing to tell you where they are, and even if there
was, there isn't much of a reason to look at them. They're useful in userspace
for, for instance, the dynamic linker, but not really in firmware.
This change adds a PHDRS construct to each of the linker scripts used on ARM
which define a single segment called to_load which does not have the flag set
which would tell the linker to put headers in it. The first section defined in
the script has ": to_load" to tell the linker which segment to put it in, and
from that point on the other sections go in there by default.

Remove the spurious creation of a start symbol, and use the
stage_entry symbol directly.

This replaces the current stage-specific exit/entry functions with
generic versions. Now all stages compile with stage_entry(), which
is placed at .text.stage_entry.armv7, and stage_exit().
Snow's ramstage files are also updated to avoid build breakage.

This patch does a few things to get us into romstage:
- Add romstage as a stage (a later patch adds it as a binary, which
is probably wrong). The Makefile magic is complex enough that we
let it build the XIP file for now, but we no longer use it.
- Replace findstage with loadstage. Loadstage will find a stage,
load the code to memory, and zero the remaining part of memory.
Now we can link the romstage to go anywhere!
- Eliminate magic offsets from code/ldscripts and centralize Kconfig
variables in src/cpu/samsung/exynos5250/Kconfig.
- Tidy up code and serial output

This adds a wrapper around main() in romstage which is compiled using
-marm. This assumes that the bootblock branches to romstage in ARM
mode.
The long-term idea is to enforce ABI compatibility when handing off to
the next stage by using shims which are which are compiled in a pre-
determiend manner and leave the main portions of each stage up to
whatever the compiler wants. So it will eventually look like this:
1. bootblock_main (ARM/Thumb)
2. bootblock_exit (ARM)
3. romstage_entry (ARM)
4. romstage_main (ARM/Thumb)
(credit to Gabe Black for writing the patch, I'm just uploading it)

This is the bloated Snow bootblock which includes:
- SPI driver
- UART, including requisite I2C, Maxim PMIC, and clock config code.
- Adjustments for magic offsets (id section, stack pointer address)
This is just a temporary solution until we have romstage loading.
Once that happens, we'll rip out all but the code necessary for
copying SPI ROM content into SRAM.

Our earlier attempt was jumping straight from asm to the old u-boot
board_init_f in lowlevel_init_c.c. We are getting ready to transition
to using a real bootblock for ARM, so add romstage.c to the files
compiled and we'll make main() our entry point.
This also updates romstage.ld to place main() (*(.text.startup)) at
the beginning of romstage.

This doesn't seem to be strictly required (so far), but makes sense.

This is still a work-in-progress, but it seems to work better than
before and is less complicated...

The first ARMv7 CPU we're going to support is the Exynos 5250
