Linux expects the MMU to be off on boot as does barebox, when being
chainloaded. However for running executables or for testing things,
booting with the MMU (and thus the caches) on can be nice.
Support this, by having architectures define HAVE_MMU_OFF_FOR_BOOT,
if they are turning off the MMU. These architectures are then supposed
to implement mmu_boot_enabled(), which should disable turning off
the MMU on barebox shutdown. A follow-up commit will add a new -m
flag to the go command that calls this function.

This is similiar to the U-Boot go command, but safer. Devices are shut
down and cache maintenance is done correctly. The command might not
be of much generic use at the moment, but I occasionly found it useful.

This enables the MMU during early startup. This speeds up things during startup
of barebox, but may lead to harder to debug code. If unsure say yes here.
