[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm64: support running at addr other than linked to

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>
This is required in the case where U-Boot is typically loaded and run at
a particular address, but for some reason the RAM at that location is not
available, e.g. due to memory fragmentation loading other boot binaries or
firmware, splitting an SMP complex between various different OSs without
using e.g. the EL2 second-stage page tables to hide the memory asignments,
or due to known ECC failures.

+ U-Boot expects to be linked to a specific hard-coded address, and to
+ be loaded to and run from that address. This option lifts that
+ restriction, thus allowing the code to be loaded to and executed
+ from almost any address. This logic relies on the relocation
+ information that is embedded into the binary to support U-Boot
+ relocating itself to the top-of-RAM later during execution.
