[PATCH v2 01/12] mips: start.S: Add CONFIG_MIPS_INIT_JUMP_OFFSET

This Kconfig symbol will be introduced with the base Octeon MIPS support.
Using it, its possible to use a TEXT_BASE address which differs from
the reset PC. And with the earliest function call to mips_sram_init()
the CPU will transfer execution to the actual TEXT_BASE region. So after
returning from this function, all absolute addresses are okay again.

This will be used by the Octeon platform to copy the U-Boot image into
L2 cache and transfer execution to the cache to speed up the execution.
