[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: mxs: Fix vectoring table crafting

The vectoring table has to be placed at 0x0, but U-Boot on MX23/MX28
starts from RAM, so the vectoring table at 0x0 is not present. Craft
code that will be placed at 0x0 and will redirect interrupt vectoring
to proper location of the U-Boot in RAM.

+ * This function will craft a jumptable at 0x0 which will redirect interrupt
+ * vectoring to proper location of U-Boot in RAM.
+ *
+ * The structure of the jumptable will be as follows:
+ *  ldr pc, [pc, #0x18] ..... for each vector, thus repeated 8 times
+ *  <destination address> ... for each previous ldr, thus also repeated 8 times
+ *
+ * The "ldr pc, [pc, #0x18]" instruction above loads address from memory at
+ * offset 0x18 from current value of PC register. Note that PC is already
+ * incremented by 4 when computing the offset, so the effective offset is
+ * actually 0x20, this the associated <destination address>. Loading the PC
+ * register with an address performs a jump to that address.
