This adds relocation of .got entries produced
by -fpic. -fpic produces 2-3% smaller code and
is faster. Unfortunately gcc promotes -fpic to
-fPIC when -mrelocatable is used so one need a very
small patch to gcc too(sent upstream).

-fpic puts its GOT entries in .got section(s) and
linker defines the symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to point
to the middle of this table. The entry at _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4
contains a blrl insn which is used to find the table's
real address by branching to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4.

Here are some size examples for my board:
size with -fPIC
 text    data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 224687  14400	  24228	 263315	  40493	u-boot

size with -mbss-plt -fPIC
 text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 222687  14400	  24228	 261315	  3fcc3	u-boot

size with -mbss-plt -fpic
 text   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 225179   6580	  24228	 255987	  3e7f3	u-boot

size with -mbss-plt -fpic -msingle-pic-base
 text	  data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 222091   6580	  24228	 252899	  3dbe3	u-boot

Note: -msingle-pic-base is not supported upstream yet.

 v3:
 - Make the new -fpic code to have zero impact when
   not compled with -fpic
 - linker __got*_entries sysm needs to be defined
   outside the referenced scope.
   Add linker sym __got_entries for -fpic relocs.
   Very likely more *lds scripts needs fixing but
   that is somebody elses problem :)
 - NAND SPL still don't fit for MPC8315ERDB and SIMPC8313
   but these didn't fit before either. Note that
   my tree isn't current so it migth be fixed in master.

Ping ping :)

I should mention that this work tougher with -msingle-pic-base paves
the way for true PIC with minimal changes to C source code.
