This patch fixes up the AArch64 assembly code to use adrp/adr instructions instead of ldr instruction for reference to symbols. This allows these assembly sequences to be Position Independant. Note that the the reference to sizes have been replaced with calculation of size at runtime. This is because size is a constant value and does not depend on execution address and using PC relative instructions for loading them makes them relative to execution address. Also we cannot use `ldr` instruction to load size as it generates a dynamic relocation entry which must *not* be fixed up and it is difficult for a dynamic loader to differentiate which entries need to be skipped.

Romlib is a new image that is stored in ROM and contains the code of several libraries that can be shared between different images. All the functions within in the library are accessed using a jump table which allows to update the romlib image whithout changing the binary compatibility. This jump table can be also stored in RAM and it can allow to patch a romlib with potential bugs fixes..
