[U-Boot] [RFC 0/3] MIPS: add automatic relocation support

This series adds dynamic relocation support for MIPS. The patches are against the testing branch of the MIPS custodian tree.
The patch-set depends on the following patches:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/214352/ (malloc: make malloc_bin_reloc static)
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/217651/ (MIPS: compute num_got_entries from .got section's size)
Gabor Juhos (3): MIPS: add .dyn.rel section to u-boot.lds MIPS: add -pie flag to LDFLAGS_FINAL MIPS: add dynamic relocation support

This section contain the table needed for dynamic relocation. Also provide symbols for the relocation code to access the table.

This ensures that the linker generates the .rel.dyn fixup table, which will be applied to the relocated image before transferring control to it.

The code handles relocation entries with the following relocation types only: mips32: R_MIPS_REL32 mips64: R_MIPS_REL+R_MIPS_64 xburst: R_MIPS_REL32
Other relocation entries are skipped without processing. The code must be extended if other relocation types must be upported, however my toolchains uses these types only.
The CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC is not needed after the patch, so remove that as well.
