ARM: 9195/1: entry: avoid explicit literal loads
ARMv7 has MOVW/MOVT instruction pairs to load symbol addresses into
registers without having to rely on literal loads that go via the
D-cache. For older cores, we now support a similar arrangement, based
on PC-relative group relocations.
This means we can elide most literal loads entirely from the entry path,
by switching to the ldr_va macro to emit the appropriate sequence
depending on the target architecture revision.
While at it, switch to the bl_r macro for invoking the right PABT/DABT
helpers instead of setting the LR register explicitly, which does not
play well with cores that speculate across function returns.
