This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel
command line. The format is:
earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>]
where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is
the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used.
The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel
boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A
special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from
the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the
kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is
pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot.
Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface
is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.

Fixes a term in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt
The modification is based on Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>'s
suggestion:
"memory" in "ffffffc000000000 ffffffffffffffff 256GB memory"
should be treated as "kernel logical memory map".

This is to reuse the same pmd table that is sparsely populated with
the modules space.

The virtual memory layout is described in
Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for
the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is
2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration.
PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no
run-time code patching at this stage).
On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are
512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping.
Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration
and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space
beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an
additional level of translation tables.
The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and
allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.

The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code.
Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the
AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on
boot standardisation, ACPI.
