[PATCH 09/26 v6] mips: add a option to support not reserving malloc space on initial stack

The initial stack on some platforms is too small to hold a large malloc
space. This patch adds a option to allow these platforms not reserving the
malloc space on initial stack. These platforms should set the malloc base
after DRAM is usable.
