Fixes boot crash from bad string pointers in get_table_entry_name when flash is erased or differs from current u-boot image.

Fix was pointed out by Peter Tyser in Image.c get_table_entry_name thread.
This redoes Grant Likey's relocation change, but leaves control to each board. This also fixes the "mii dump" command when flash is erased. Tested with gcc 4.2
NAK.
Sorry, this doesn't work. We cannot have one board compile this way, and another one another way - one working with that tool chain and the other with another tool chain only.
Theproblem you're addressing is a bug, and not only on this single board, but everywhere. So it must be fixed everywhere.
Either we add manual relocation to these pointers like we do elsewhere (that would be my recommendation for a quick workaround aka bug fix for this release), or we should find a clean way to get real relocation working (that would be much better, but probably it is too late for this release).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
