ARM: 8786/1: Debug kernel copy by printing
It may happen that when we relocate the kernel we corrupt other sensible memory (e.g. the memory needed by U-Boot for dealing with bootm command) while copying the kernel. If we overwrite the content of the memory area used by U-Boot's command bootm (described by U-Boot's parameters bootm_low and bootm_size), the kernel won't be able to boot. Troubleshooting the problem then is not straightforward. This commit allows the user to easily print information on where the kernel gets copied from/to in order to help with the design of the system memory map (e.g. bootm_low and bootm_size) at boot up.
