[PATCH 06/78] ARM: scroll past image end without ld_var

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

ld_var is going to be removed, cope without it. In the PBL image
we want to get the location after the binary to the place where
the compressed image is located. To do this Put a variable at
the very end of the binary, get it's location and add an offset.
