[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] mx25: Fix boot hang by avoiding vector relocation

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam at freescale.com>

Since commit 3ff46cc42b9d73d0 ("arm: relocate the exception vectors") mx25pdk
hangs like this:

CPU:   Freescale i.MX25 rev1.2 at 399 MHz
Reset cause: WDOG
Board: MX25PDK
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  64 MiB
(hangs)

Add a specific relocate_vectors macro that skips the vector relocation, as the 
i.MX25 SoC does not provide RAM at the high vectors address (0xFFFF0000), and
(0x00000000) maps to ROM.

This allows mx25 to boot again.

Changes since v1:
- Skip the vector relocation on mx25
