If a dtb is passed to the kernel then the kernel needs to iterate
through compiled-in mdescs looking for one that matches and move the
dtb data to a safe location before it gets accidentally overwritten by
the kernel.
This patch creates a new function, setup_machine_fdt() which is
analogous to the setup_machine_atags() created in the previous patch.
It does all the early setup needed to use a device tree machine
description.
v5: - Print warning with neither dtb nor atags are passed to the kernel
- Fix bug in setting of __machine_arch_type to the selected machine,
not just the last machine in the list.

- Copy command line directly into boot_command_line instead of cmd_line
v4: - Dump some output when a matching machine_desc cannot be found
v3: - Added processing of reserved list.
- Backed out the v2 change that copied instead of reserved the
dtb. dtb is reserved again and the real problem was fixed by
using alloc_bootmem_align() for early allocation of RAM for
unflattening the tree.
- Moved cmd_line and initrd changes to earlier patch to make series
bisectable.
v2: Changed to save the dtb by copying into an allocated buffer.
- Since the dtb will very likely be passed in the first 16k of ram
where the interrupt vectors live, memblock_reserve() is
insufficient to protect the dtb data.

Add some basic empty infrastructure for DT support on ARM.
v5: - Fix off-by-one error in size calculation of initrd
- Stop mucking with cmd_line, and load command line from dt into
boot_command_line instead which matches the behaviour of ATAGS booting
v3: - moved cmd_line export and initrd setup to this patch to make the
series bisectable.
- switched to alloc_bootmem_align() for allocation when
unflattening the device tree. memblock_alloc() was not the
right interface.

The unsigned long datatype is not sufficient for mapping physical addresses
>= 4GB.
This patch ensures that the phys_addr_t datatype is used to represent
the start address of a membank, which may reside above the 4GB boundary.

lh7a40x has only been receiving updates for updates to generic code.
The last involvement from the maintainer according to the git logs was
in 2006. As such, it is a maintainence burden with no benefit.
This gets rid of two defconfigs.

Everything should now be using sparsemem rather than discontigmem, so
remove the code supporting discontigmem from ARM.

The ARM setup code includes its own parser for early params, there's
also one in the generic init code.
This patch removes __early_init (and related code) from
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c, and changes users to the generic early_init
macro instead.
The generic macro takes a char * argument, rather than char **, so we
need to update the parser functions a little.

Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased
vmalloc area. However, none of this has any effect on the memory
layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped.
Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be
registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available
virtual mapping space.
The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning
of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size
(see commit 60296c71f6 for details on
this).
We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory,
while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem.
Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory
are not supported. This is not a huge limitation since systems
relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory
with large holes.
[ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9eca
and be available in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up
of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage
escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ]

Currently there are two instances of struct meminfo: one in
kernel/setup.c marked __initdata, and another in mm/init.c with
permanent storage. Let's keep only the later to directly populate
the permanent version from arm_add_memory().
Also move common validation tests between the MMU and non-MMU cases
into arm_add_memory() to remove some duplication. Protection against
overflowing the membank array is also moved in there in order to cover
the kernel cmdline parsing path as well.
