[RFC PATCH 3/3] misc: SRAM: Add option to map SRAM to allow code execution

Allow option for mapping SRAM as executable. DT node can specify
"memory-exec" and "memory-exec-nocache" to also map it as non-cached.
This is useful for platforms using the sram driver that need to run
PM code from sram like several ARM platforms.
