<title>ARM: 6673/1: LPAE: use phys_addr_t instead of unsigned long for start of membanks</title>

The unsigned long datatype is not sufficient for mapping physical addresses
&gt;= 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.

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>ARM: Fix broken highmem support</title>

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 60296c71f6c5063e3c1f1d2619ca0b60940162e7 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 5f0fbf9ecaf3
  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.
