The current bounce buffer logic checks if the user passed buffer is DMA aligned, and if so, the same buffer is used. This can be an issue on platforms which have certain IP's that are unable to access memory addresses above a certain point. Introduce a config symbol that can be used by such platforms which forces the bounce buffer logic to allocate the buffer from the heap which is part of the U-Boot image area.
