brcm63xx: use relocate to move the kernel back to start of ram

Appearently the kernel only uses kernel above it, so moving it to an
higher address causes a lot of unavailable memory (#19327).

Also move the on-flash kernel to 0x80a0000, as newer CFEs don't like
uncompressing there (net-booting an ELF kernel is fine, though).

Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: move kernel behind CFE
CFE will load itself to offset 4 MiB (or 6 MiB) in memory occupying a
bit over one MiB. Traditionally the kernel will get linked to and loaded
at offset 64k.
This will pose a problem if the kernel size reaches 4 MiB - 64 kB, as
CFE will start overwriting itself. This can easily happen by including a
ramdisk image in the kernel.
While for net-booted elf kernels this can be worked around by wrapping
them in a lzma boot loader, on-flash images require the kernel to be
lzma compressed. This would cause inefficient double compression.
Luckily we have full control over where the kernel will be extracted to
and the entry point to be called, so move the kernel to behind CFE.
