[RFC] ARM/mem: handle data aborts gracefully for md

Jan Luebbe jlu at pengutronix.de

Sometimes memory ranges contain inaccessible registers which trigger a
data abort when accessed. To handle this gracefully, we extend the data
abort exception handler to ignore the exception when configured to do
so.

This allows detecting inaccessible memory from the md command. It will
show XX for unreadable bytes instead.

The previous behaviour:

The current implementation breaks everything except ARM and takes several
shortcuts which need to be implemented more cleanly. Suggestions are very
welcome!
