[PATCH CFT] ARM:S3C24XX: Enable ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR by default

Configs ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR are enabled as default
to platform S3C24XX.

Introduction of PHYS_VIRT config as default would enable phy-to-virt and
virt-to-phy translation function at boot and module loading time
and enforce dynamic reallocation of memory. AUTO_ZRELADDR config would
enable calculation of kernel load address at run time.

PHYS_VIRT config is mutually exclusive to XIP_KERNEL, XIP_KERNEL is used in
systems with NOR flash devices, and ZRELADDR config is mutually exclusive
to ZBOOT_ROM.

CFT::Call For Testing

Requesting maintainers of S3C24XX  platforms to evaluate the changes on the
board and comment, as I dont have the board for testing and also requesting
an ACK the changes.

S3C24XX is basically a Samsung SOC with ARM920T instruction set, and has
an operating frquency of 203MHz, it also has enhanced MMU architecture
to support WinCE, EPOC 32 and Linux.

This SOC is an Integrated system for hand-held devices and general
embedded systems.

Supports various types of ROM for booting (NOR/NAND Flash, EEPROM, and others).
Supports 8 memory banks, 128M for each bank, with a total of 1GB.
