YAMON can expose more than 256MB of RAM to Linux on Malta by passing an
ememsize environment variable with the full size, but the kernel then
needs to be careful to choose the corresponding physical memory regions,
avoiding the IO memory window. This is platform dependent, and on Malta
it also depends on the memory layout which varies between system
controllers.
Extend yamon_dt_amend_memory() to generically handle this by taking
[e]memsize bytes of memory from an array of memory regions passed in as
a new parameter. Board code provides this array as appropriate depending
on its own memory map.

In preparation for supporting other YAMON-using boards (Malta) & sharing
code to translate information from YAMON into device tree properties,
pull the code doing so for the kernel command line, system memory &
serial configuration out of the SEAD-3 board code.

Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported
by generic kernels.
Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want
to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board
which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically
not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to
handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy
board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen
on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION
register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will
use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect
functions.
