If the .noinit section starts at the beginning of the RAM,
a bootloader that is unaware of it will clear it.
Instead, move it behind the .bss section, hoping that a bootloader
will always use less .bss memory than RIOT proper.
Make it possible to specify a section of RAM that is not touched by
the init routing so data can be kept across resets.
This should behave the same as on atmega & lpc2387.
Allow defining a specific rom length to use for linking the firmware,
_fw_rom_length, instead of the default configuration to use the whole rom from
_rom_offset to the end.
* Add cortexm_common/Makefile.include FW_ROM_SIZE configuration
* Add an assertion that _fw_rom_length still respects _rom_length
The required space for the hardfault handler is defined by
HARDFAULT_HANDLER_REQUIRED_STACK_SPACE, which is given in bytes,
this length is added to &_sram to find a lower limit on the amount of
stack space that the hard fault handler can work with. The _sram
variable, was mistakenly defined as a uint32_t, which makes &_sram into
a uint32_t*, which through pointer addition, made the required space 4
times as big as it was supposed to. By changing the type of _sram to
uint8_t, the required stack space is correctly computed.
The symptom was that the hardfault handler always reported that the
stack pointer had been corrupted and it was impossible to get any useful
information from the crash text.
