[PATCH 1/2] bouncebuf: allow for allocating bounce buffer frome heap

The current bounce buffer logic checks if the user passed buffer is
DMA aligned, and if so, the same buffer is used. This can be an issue
on platforms which have certain IP's that are unable to access memory
addresses above a certain point. Introduce a config symbol that can be
used by such platforms which forces the bounce buffer logic to
allocate the buffer from the heap which is part of the U-Boot image
area.
