PATCH v2 1/1 mx28: fix SPL code to make USB booting work

This patch fixes booting i.MX28 CPUs via USB download. In this mode the CPU's bootrom implements a USB HID device that accepts a bootstream.

When downloading the bootstream via USB, first the SPL code is received and executed. Then the u-boot image is received and called.

The USB bootmode is interrupt driven.

This patch fixes two things:

1) The ARM's fast interrupt mode is disabled when the SPL code has been run. So save and restore the CPSR register.

2) The exception vector location is set back to bootrom space to make the USB interrupts work again. The SPL code needs to change this option for the ram size probing.

---
changes in v2:
- store old SPSR on stack instead of jiggling around with some bits
- remove #ifndef CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT

Maybe you can save this register too, like you did with CPSR?

Otherwise, it looks good.

btw plain "push r0" doesn't work?

Can do.

Done. Works. Patch V3 follows.
