ELF relocation tables generated with linker option -pie can
be used to fixup code and data in a single loop at relocation,
removing the need for manual fixups anywhere else in the code.

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.

Change the implementation for arm926 to relocate the code to
an arbitrary address in RAM.
Adapt the TX25 (i.MX25), magnesium board to test the changes.
On the tx25 board TEXT_BASE is set to the final relocation
address to prevent one more copying of u-boot code
when relocating. More info see:

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.
