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.

Provide helpers for getting physical addresses or pfns from the
meminfo array, and use them. Move for_each_nodebank() to
asm/setup.h alongside the meminfo structure definition.

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