[PATCH v2 8/8] ARM: NOMMU: Support MPU in XIP configuration

Currently, there is assumption in early MPU setup code that kernel
image is located in RAM, which is obviously not true for XIP. To run
code from ROM we need to make sure that it is covered by MPU. However,
due to we allocate regions (semi-)dynamically we can run into issue of
trimming region we are running from in case ROM spawns several MPU
regions. To help deal with that the new config option is introduced
which basically allows to construct ROM layout in MPU friendly
fashion.

+	  PMSAv7 defines following restrictions to the regions:
+	    * size must be power of 2, and
+	    * region start must be aligned to the region size
+	  With a XIP kernel we need to make sure that (almost) all kernel image
+	  is covered by MPU, so we will not trim region we are running from.
+	  To help with that this option is given. Along with XIP_PHYS_ADDR it
+	  allows to adopt kernel layout to meet aforementioned requirements.
