ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.

Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.

Furthermore, the startup code (cpu/<arm>/start.S) internally uses
another variable (_TEXT_BASE) with the same content as _armboot_start.
I agree that this mess should be cleaned up.
_armboot_end_data is the end address of the initialized data section,
and is only used in one place (board/logodl/flash.c - the reference in
lib_arm/board.c is purely informational).
_armboot_end is the end address of the BSS and is used to determine
the address of the VFD buffer.
Eliminating those should be doable, and at least the patch already
eliminates _armboot_real_end.
