I made that work now and can prepare a patch. I had to drop "depends on
!ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM" from XIP_KERNEL. That's because my machine only
works with XIP_KERNEL as it only has 4 MiB of RAM.

Also note that for !MMU you need to specify the base address and size of
your RAM (DRAM_BASE, DRAM_SIZE) and flash (FLASH_MEM_BASE, FLASH_SIZE).
So the resulting image is hardly runnable on different machines. (I
don't know off-hand why these are needed though, maybe this can be
discussed away.)

So ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM is only good as it allows to simplify a few
things, but the result isn't really multi-platform.

Best regards
Uwe
