Using kstrtol to parse the "{e,}memsize" variables was wrong because this
parses signed long numbers. In case of '{e,}memsize' >= 2G, the top bit
is set, resulting to -ERANGE errors and possibly random system memory
boundaries. We fix this by replacing "kstrtol" with "kstrtoul".
We also improve the code to check the kstrtoul return value and
print a warning if an error was returned.

First introduced in e6ca4e5bf1
"MIPS: malta: malta-memory: Add support for the 'ememsize' variable"
but it is not needed since both variables are visible to the compiler.

If the 'memsize' environmental variable is not set by the bootloader
the 'memsize' variable is not initialized, leading to potential memory
problems. This patch fixes the problem by setting the initial
value to '0' to force the kernel to set a good default memory size.

Use a Malta specific function to free the init section once the
kernel has booted. When operating in EVA mode, the physical memory
is shifted to 0x80000000. Kernel is loaded into 0x80000000 (virtual)
so the offset between physical and virtual addresses is 0.

PHYS_OFFSET is used to denote the physical start address of the
first bank of RAM. When the Malta board is in EVA mode, the physical
start address of RAM is shifted to 0x80000000 so it's necessary to use
this macro in order to make the code EVA agnostic.

The 'ememsize' variable is used to denote the real RAM which is
present on the Malta board. This is different compared to 'memsize'
which is capped to 256MB. The 'ememsize' is used to get the actual
physical memory when setting up the Malta memory layout. This only
makes sense in case the core operates in the EVA mode, and it's
ignored otherwise.

Remove 'arch/mips/include/asm/mips-boards/prom.h' and get rid of
all inclusions of it by Malta and SEAD-3 platforms.

The MIPS-specific macro CL_SIZE is merely aliasing the macro
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE. Other architectures use the latter; also,
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE is documented in kernel-parameters.txt, so
let's use it, and remove the alias.

Since commit 22242681cf ("MIPS: Extend
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE"), CL_SIZE is 4096 and local array variables with this
size will cause an build failure with default CONFIG_FRAME_WARN settings.
Although current users of such array variables are all early bootstrap
code and not likely to cause real stack overflow (thread_info corruption),
it is preferable to to declare these arrays static with __initdata.
