This patch changes several cache-related pieces to be cleaner, faster or
more correct. The largest point is removing the old
arm_invalidate_caches() function and surrounding bootblock code to
initialize SCTLR and replace it with an all-assembly function that takes
care of cache and SCTLR initialization to bring the system to a known
state. It runs without stack and before coreboot makes any write
accesses to be as compatible as possible with whatever state the system
was left in by preceeding code. This also finally fixes the dreaded
icache bug that wasted hundreds of milliseconds during boot.

This patch switches every last part of Coreboot on ARM over to Thumb
mode: libpayload, the internal libgcc, and assorted assembly files. In
combination with the respective depthcharge patch, this will switch to
Thumb mode right after the entry point of the bootblock and not switch
back to ARM until the final assembly stub that jumps to the kernel.
The required changes to make this work include some new headers and
Makefile flags to handle assembly files (using the unified syntax and
the same helper macros as Linux), modifying our custom-written libgcc
code for 64-bit division to support Thumb (removing some stale old files
that were never really used for clarity), and flipping the general
CFLAGS to Thumb (some more cleanup there as well while I'm at it).
BUG=None
TEST=Snow and Nyan still boot.

The memcpy/memset/memmove assembly implementations have been taken from
U-Boot, which originally got them from Linux. I turns out that they are
actually not that bad, but they could use an update. This patch pulls in
the current Linux upstream versions of those files, removing some old
U-Boot cruft such as checking whether the two pointers in a memcpy() are
equal (really now?) or side-stepping the R8 register because it was used
for special purposes. It also returns to the good old Linux
ENTRY/ENDPROC macros since we have them now anyway, and straightens out
the W() macro in preparation for unified thumb support.

libgcc/macros.h contains some useful assembly macros that are common in
Linux kernel code and facilitate things such as unified ARM/THUMB
assembly. This patch moves it to a more general place where it can be
used by other code as well.

There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

ARM: Split out ARMv7 code and make it possible to have other arch versions.
We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should
separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible
to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per
build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version
at a time.
The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have
some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.
