[PATCH v4 01/13] mmu: explicitly map executable non-SDRAM regions with MAP_CODE

So far we have been setting eXecute Never on MAP_UNCACHED regions and
left it out for the default MAP_CACHED region.
We have at least three places, which depend on this to remap non-SDRAM
regions executable, so ROM code or newly uploaded code can be run.
Switch them over to use a new MAP_CODE mapping type. For now, this is
equivalent to MAP_CACHED, but with the addition of W^X support in
barebox, this will be required to avoid a prefetch abort when MMU
attributes are used.
