[PATCH CFT] ARM:S3C64XX: Enable ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR by default

Configs ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR are enabled as default
to S3C64XX platform

Introduction of PHYS_VIRT config as default would enable phy-to-virt and
virt-to-phy translation function at boot and module loading time
and enforce dynamic reallocation of memory. AUTO_ZRELADDR config would
enable calculation of kernel load address at run time.

PHYS_VIRT config is mutually exclusive to XIP_KERNEL, XIP_KERNEL is used in
systems with NOR flash devices, and ZRELADDR config is mutually exclusive
to ZBOOT_ROM.

CFT::Call For Testing

Requesting maintainers of S3C64XX  platforms to evaluate the changes on the
board and comment, as I dont have the board for testing and also requesting
an ACK the changes.

This is basically a Samsung SOC with ARM1176JZF-S instruction set, and has
an operating frquency of 667MHz, it also has 64bit AXI bus. It supports
WinCE, Linux, Android and Ubuntu.

This platform has two variants of CPU, S3C6400 and S3C6410.

This SOC is an Integrated system for Mobile Internet Device, Notebook,
handheld/3G mobile devices.

Supports various types of ROM for booting (NOR/NAND Flash, OneNand, SD-card
and others).

and ZRELADDR
