[PATCH] arm: boot: head-sharpsl.S: don't rely on MACH_TYPE_* of removed boards

Code in head-sharpsl.S relies on the MACH_TYPE_* constants for five
boards that are no longer supported by the kernel. They were removed in
commit d6df7df7ae5a ("ARM: pxa: remove unused board files"). This
prevents the removal of boards no longer present in the kernel from
mach-types. Replace the MACH_TYPE_* references with hardcoded values.
(If the IDs were simply removed, these boards would be detected as
other supported machines, causing incorrect behavior. The kernel will
abort on detecting an unsupported machine ID.)
