Currently the fsl booke 32bit kernel is using the DYNAMIC_MEMSTART relocation
method. But the RELOCATABLE method is more flexible and has less alignment
restriction. So enable this feature on this platform and use it by
default for the kdump kernel.

These patches have passed the kdump boot test on a p2020rdb board.
