ARM: 9195/1: entry: avoid explicit literal loads
ARMv7 has MOVW/MOVT instruction pairs to load symbol addresses into registers without having to rely on literal loads that go via the D-cache. For older cores, we now support a similar arrangement, based on PC-relative group relocations. This means we can elide most literal loads entirely from the entry path, by switching to the ldr_va macro to emit the appropriate sequence depending on the target architecture revision. While at it, switch to the bl_r macro for invoking the right PABT/DABT helpers instead of setting the LR register explicitly, which does not play well with cores that speculate across function returns.
