At present some spl_xxx_load_image() functions take a parameter and some
don't. Of those that do, most take an integer but one takes a string.
Convert this parameter into a struct so that we can pass all functions the
same thing. This will allow us to use a common function signature.

Introduce virtual and physical addresses in the mapping table. This change
have no impact on existing boards because they all use idential mapping.

Now that we know that the BROM stores a value indicating the boot-source
at the beginning of SRAM, use that instead of trying to recreate the
BROM's boot probing.

Allwinner devices support SPI flash as one of the possible
bootable media type. The SPI flash chip needs to be connected
to SPI0 pins (port C) to make this work. More information is
available at:
https://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash
This patch adds the initial support for booting from SPI flash.
The existing SPI frameworks are not used in order to reduce the
SPL code size. Right now the SPL size grows by ~370 bytes when
CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option is enabled.
While there are no popular Allwinner devices with SPI flash at
the moment, testing can be done using a SPI flash module (it
can be bought for ~2$ on ebay) and jumper wires with the boards,
which expose relevant pins on the expansion header. The SPI flash
chips themselves are very cheap (some prices are even listed as
low as 4 cents) and should not cost much if somebody decides to
design a development board with an SPI flash chip soldered on
the PCB.
Another nice feature of the SPI flash is that it can be safely
accessed in a device-independent way (since we know that the
boot ROM is already probing these pins during the boot time).
And if, for example, Olimex boards opted to use SPI flash instead
of EEPROM, then they would have been able to have U-Boot installed
in the SPI flash now and boot the rest of the system from the SATA
hard drive. Hopefully we may see new interesting Allwinner based
development boards in the future, now that the software support
for the SPI flash is in a better shape :-)
Testing can be done by enabling the CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option
in a board defconfig, then building U-Boot and finally flashing
the resulting u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary over USB OTG with
a help of the sunxi-fel tool:
sunxi-fel spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
The device needs to be switched into FEL (USB recovery) mode first.
The most suitable boards for testing are Orange Pi PC and Pine64.
Because these boards are cheap, have no built-in NAND/eMMC and
expose SPI0 pins on the Raspberry Pi compatible expansion header.
The A13-OLinuXino-Micro board also can be used.

The SPL code already knows which boot device it calls the spl_boot_mode()
on, so pass that information into the function. This allows the code of
spl_boot_mode() avoid invoking spl_boot_device() again, but it also lets
board_boot_order() correctly alter the behavior of the boot process.
The later one is important, since in certain cases, it is desired that
spl_boot_device() return value be overriden using board_boot_order().

This addresses a cosmetic issue when booting a sunxi device
over USB (FEL mode), where the SPL currently would just print
"Trying to boot from ". The patch fixes that to properly read
"Trying to boot from FEL".

The Allwinner A64 SoC is used in the Pine64. This patch adds
all bits necessary to compile U-Boot for it running in AArch64
mode.
Unfortunately SPL is not ready yet due to legal problems, so
we need to boot using the binary boot0 for now.

Some of the code in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi is actually armv7 specific, while
most of it is just generic code that could as well be used on an AArch64 SoC.
Move all files that are not really tied to armv7 into a new mach-sunxi
directory.
