Some qcom platforms need a specific text offset because the first
2MB of memory is reserved for shared memory. Let's just always
shift the text segment up by 2MB when ARCH_QCOM is selected so
that we don't have to specify the specific platforms that exhibit
this problem in Kconfig.

I was really hoping that this sillyness would stop, but I guess
expecting it to stop is asking too much...

Is there really no other option?

The only other option is to make up some qcom specific config
like I_HAVE_A_QCOM_SOC_THAT_NEEDS_2MB_OFFSET that can be selected
when the configurator (not a word) knows that they are using that
SoC.

Overall, this practice has stopped inside the company over 3
years ago and has not continued as far as I know. This patch is
just taking the easy way out and forcing ARCH_QCOM to always do
the shift.
