[PATCH v2 1/3] MIPS: pbl: add pbl_blt macro

[Antony Pavlov <antonynpavlov@gmail.com>]

From: Oleksij Rempel <linux@rempel-privat.de>

Barebox' PBL is able to initialize SoC's memory controller,
but it can be used only if PBL runs from ROM or on-chip SRAM.
MIPS architecture standard boot vector is 0xbfc00000
so on most MIPS SoCs all addresses higher than 0xbfc00000
belong to boot ROM or on-chip SRAM. Thus there's a
simple criterion to check if PBL runs from ROM: just
check if current PC is higher than 0xbfc00000.
Some MIPS boards have ROM start address lower than 0xbfc00000
so it's reasonable to make ROM start address checking board-dependant.

The pbl_blt macro checks if current pc is lower than
the first argument (ROM start address). If so then
next instruction executed is defined by the second argument
of the macro.
