Some times gcc may generate data that is then used within code that may
be part of an efi runtime section. That data could be jump tables,
constants or strings.
In order to make sure we catch these, we need to ensure that gcc emits
them into a section that we can relocate together with all the other
efi runtime bits. This only works if the -ffunction-sections and
-fdata-sections flags are passed and the efi runtime functions are
in a section that starts with ".text".
Up to now we had all efi runtime bits in sections that did not
interfere with the normal section naming scheme, but this forces
us to do so. Hence we need to move the efi_loader text/data/rodata
sections before the global *(.text*) catch-all section.
With this patch in place, we should hopefully have an easier time
to extend the efi runtime functionality in the future.

[agraf: Fix x86_64 breakage]
After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS
using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space,
since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS.
This patch adds enough framework for arbitrary code inside of U-Boot to become
a runtime service with the right section attributes set. For now, we don't make
use of it yet though.
We could maybe in the future map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables
here.

This should include the hash so that image_binary_size is really at the
end of the image, and not some 300 bytes earlier.

Exception handling is basically identical for all ARM targets.
Factorize it out of the various start.S files and into a
single vectors.S file, and adjust linker scripts accordingly.

This prevents references to _end from generating absolute
relocation records.
This change is binary invariant for ARM targets.

Current LDS files /DISCARD/ a lot of sections when linking ELF
files, causing diagnostic tools such as readelf or objdump to
produce partial output. Keep all section at link stage, filter
only at objcopy time so that .bin remains minimal.

NOR requires that s_init be within the first 4KiB of the image so that
we can perform the rest of the required pinmuxing to talk with the rest
of NOR that we are found on. When NOR_BOOT is set we save our
environment in NOR at 512KiB and a redundant copy at 768KiB. We avoid
using SPL for this case and u-boot.bin is written directly to the start
of NOR.
We enclose the DMM-related parts of arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/emif4.c
with TI81xx checks as at this time U-Boot does not discard unused
sections in the main build and this code relies on functions specific to
(and only provided in) ti81xx-related code.
