Use sh_addr to calculate si->ctors and si->dtors, instead of using sh_offset. Linkers may not guarantee file offsets are the same as virtual addresses.

[MIPS] Reduce mips-r2 etc abi names to just mips, for SDK purposes.
Adjust generic_mips/BoardConfig.mk to match pre-JB aosp master branch, including changes from Raghu’s May 7th MIPS generic target support and typo correction from Raghu’s May 31st. The patch addresses the below issues.
SDK Manager rejects system image files that say ro.product.cpu.abi=mips-r2 or SystemImage.Abi=mips-r2.

(MIPS) NX test should not fail on MIPS hardware. Should be used with NDK r8. Similar to https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/23847/ but also added missing JNI calls to MIPS NDK’s isMipsCpu()

[MIPS] Fix lazy-instance template to preserve object alignment. The alignment attribute of an object was discarded when allocating storage for the lazy-instance. Alignment is important for MIPS, where doubles (and objects containing them) must be aligned on 8-byte boundary. The alignment attributes are included via a macro that is only defined under GCC, so that this change does not affect other build environments.

Fixed runtime linkage problems for libOpenSLES and libOpenMAXAL Libraries libOpenSLES and libOpenSLES depends on liblog but Android.mk doesn’t specify it. Native app links libOpenSLES or libOpenSLES may fail with the following error message (taking $NDK/samples/native-media as an example)
E/AndroidRuntime( 824): Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load library: link_image[2260]: 82 could not load needed library libOpenMAXAL.so for -libnative-media-jni.so (mips_relocate_got[1804]: 82 In libOpenMAXAL.so, can’t locate symbol __android_log_assert)
It’s unclear why compiler (MIPS/ARM/X86) doesn’t complain w/o liblog. It’s also unclear why ARM and X86-based Android devices don’t have runtime problem. (ie. $NDK/samples/native-media runs) Fix Android.mk to make it explicit.
