[RFC v3 PATCH 25/25] ARM: Allow ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM to be selected for NOMMU

[Vladimir Murzin]

With this patch applied potentially any platform can be built in NOMMU
configurations if CONFIG_EXPERT is selected. However, there is no
guarantee that platform can successfully run such Image. So the main
motivation behind of this patch:
- bring build coverage for NOMMU configurations
- allow known working NOMMU platforms (like R-class) to be used
- pave a way to add support for single address space (aka 1:1 mapping)
  for MMU platforms, so they can be usable in NOMMU configurations

+	  Multiplatform with !MMU configuration *is not* meant that

+	  is because physical address space layouts (particularly where
+	  RAM is located) are different between platforms and there is
+	  no MMU to work that around.
+
+	  You must specify where RAM start (via DRAM_BASE config
+	  option) and appropriate size of RAM (via DRAM_SIZE config
+	  option) which are valid for the platform you are building
+	  for.
+
+	  This feature is *EXPERIMENTAL*, please, consider building
