Uwe Kleine-König de66a97901 ARM: 7187/1: fix unwinding for XIP kernels
The linker places the unwind tables in readonly sections. So when using
an XIP kernel these are located in ROM and cannot be modified.
For that reason the current approach to convert the relative offsets in
the unwind index to absolute addresses early in the boot process doesn't
work with XIP.

The offsets in the unwind index section are signed 31 bit numbers and
the structs are sorted by this offset. So it first has offsets between
0x40000000 and 0x7fffffff (i.e. the negative offsets) and then offsets
between 0x00000000 and 0x3fffffff. When seperating these two blocks the
numbers are sorted even when interpreting the offsets as unsigned longs.

So determine the first non-negative entry once and track that using the
new origin pointer. The actual bisection can then use a plain unsigned
long comparison. The only thing that makes the new bisection more
complicated is that the offsets are relative to their position in the
index section, so the key to search needs to be adapted accordingly in
each step.

Moreover several consts are added to catch future writes and rename the
member "addr" of struct unwind_idx to "addr_offset" to better match the
new semantic. (This has the additional benefit of breaking eventual
users at compile time to make them aware of the change.)

In my tests the new algorithm was a tad faster than the original and has
the additional upside of not needing the initial conversion and so saves
some boot time and it's possible to unwind even earlier.
