README.arm-relocation: get relocated address in gdb
When your emulator is connected at reset (or is used to load u-boot) it is possible to get the relocation address from the gd->relocaddr since gd is always in r8 (on ARM) it is addressable before the gdb has remapped symbols. Document this alternate method in-line with the original method written by Heiko Schocher.

Now you can use gdb as usual :-)
