merged up to 7/9. The MMU rework needs some changes to v1 which I
haven't posted yet. It does not work correctly on armv7 as these
processors need slightly different second level page table entries.

Also, I added the appropriate KEEP directives to
include/asm-generic/barebox.lds.h to make this branch work. Would be
good if you could give your patches at least *some* testing.
