Booting an arm kernel has been broken a while when booting from non zero start
address. This is due to the order of events: board init loads the kernel and
sets register 15 to the start address and then qemu_system_reset reset the cpu
making register 15 zero again.

This patch fixes the usage of the register 15 start address trick in
combination with arm_load_kernel.

This parts looks fine.

This part doesn't. The register reset should be kept in case in case the
test "if (info)" in main_cpu_reset() is false.

All the "regs[15] = xyz" above are unneeded now as they are all used
in combination with arm_boot_kernel with a valid info struct.

The last "env->regs[15] = 0" is redundant as the register is already
zeroed at that point.
