Most ARM machines don't need a special "DMA" memory zone, and
when configured out, the kernel becomes a bit smaller:
| text data bss dec hex filename
|3826182 102384 111700 4040266 3da64a vmlinux
|3823593 101616 111700 4036909 3d992d vmlinux.nodmazone
This is because the system now has only one zone total which effect is
to optimize away many conditionals in page allocation paths.
So let's configure this zone only on machines that need split zones.

There's no point scattering this around the tree, the parsing
of the parameter might as well live beside the code which uses
it. That also means we can make vmalloc_reserve a static
variable.

This patch adds a config option (CONFIG_VMSPLIT_*) to allow choosing
between 3:1, 2:2 and 1:3 user:kernel memory splits.

OMAP at least gets the return type(s) for the DMA translation functions
wrong, which can lead to subtle errors. Avoid this by moving the DMA
translation functions to asm/dma-mapping.h, and converting them to
inline functions.
Fix the OMAP DMA translation macros to use the correct argument and
result types.
Also, remove the unnecessary casts in dmabounce.c.

This patch will truncate and/or ignore memory banks if their kernel
direct mappings would (partially) overlap with the vmalloc area or
the mappings between the vmalloc area and the address space top, to
prevent crashing during early boot if there happens to be more RAM
installed than we are expecting.
Since the start of the vmalloc area is not at a fixed address (but
the vmalloc end address is, via the per-platform VMALLOC_END define),
a default area of 128M is reserved for vmalloc mappings, which can
be shrunk or enlarged by passing an appropriate vmalloc= command line
option as it is done on x86.
On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe000000,
two 512M RAM banks and vmalloc=128M (the default), this patch gives:
Truncating RAM at 20000000-3fffffff to -35ffffff (vmalloc region overlap).
Memory: 512MB 352MB = 864MB total
On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe800000,
two 256M RAM banks and vmalloc=768M, this patch gives:
Truncating RAM at 00000000-0fffffff to -0e7fffff (vmalloc region overlap).
Ignoring RAM at 10000000-1fffffff (vmalloc region overlap).

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
