As far back as 2011, "_armboot_start" was being described as "no
longer defined":

   CM4000: fix broken flash base for OpenGear boards

   Use _bss_start_ofs as the size of the boot loader code+data that we want
   to protect in the flash. This replaces use of the no longer defined
   _armboot_start.

_armboot_start contains the value of CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE (0xA07E0000); it seems
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE and _armboot_start are both used for the same purpose in
different parts of the (ARM) code.
Furthermore, the startup code (cpu/<arm>/start.S) internally uses
another variable (_TEXT_BASE) with the same content as _armboot_start.
I agree that this mess should be cleaned up.
