Subject: [PATCH v2 08/11] MIPS: Add CONFIG_RELOCATABLE Kconfig option

Add option to KConfig to enable the kernel to relocate itself at
runtime.

Relocation is supported R2 and later of the MIPS architecture, 32bit
and 64bit. The platform is also required to provide support through
plat_get_fdt() added in a later patch.
