because we use the 1MiB section maps as they only need a single pagetable.
To allow this we only use pc relative loads to ensure we only load from
physical addresses until we are running from a known virtual address.
As a side effect any data from before or 64MiB after the kernel needs to
be mapped in to be used. This should not be an issue for kernels loaded
with ubldr as it places this data just after the kernel. It will be a
problem when loading directly from anything using the Linux ABI that
places the ATAG data outside this range, for example U-Boot.

change the gpio children can be described as directly connected to the GPIO
controller without the need of describing the OFW GPIO bus itself on the
DTS file.
With this commit the OFW GPIO bus is fully functional on BBB and RPi.
GPIO controllers which want to use the OFW GPIO bus will need similar
changes.

routine, now a platform can provide a pointer to an early_putc() routine
which is used instead of cn_putc(). Control can be handed off from early
printf support to standard console support by NULLing out the pointer
during standard console init.
This leverages all the existing error reporting that uses printf calls,
such as panic() which can now be usefully employed even in early
platform init code (useful at least to those who maintain that code and
build kernels with EARLY_PRINTF defined).

initarm() into cpu_mp_start() which is called from non-arm code and
takes no parameters.
This adds the global variable and ensures that all the various copies
of initarm() set it. It uses the variable in cpu_mp_start(), eliminating
the last uses of KERNPHYSADDR outside of locore.S (where we can now
calculate it instead of relying on the constant).
a new physmem.c file. The new code provides helper routines that can be
used by legacy SoCs and newer FDT-based systems. There are routines to
add one or more regions of physically contiguous ram, and exclude one or
more physically contiguous regions of ram. Ram can be excluded from crash
dumps, from being given over to the vm system for allocation management,
or both. After all the included and excluded regions have been added,
arm_physmem_init_kernel_globals() processes the regions into the global
dump_avail and phys_avail arrays and realmem and physmem variables that
communicate memory configuration to the rest of the kernel.
Convert all existing SoCs to use the new helper code.
This was an optimization used only by a few xscale platforms. Part of
the optimization was to create a direct map for all physical pages, and
that resulted in making multiple mappings of pages in a way that bypassed
the logic in pmap.c to handle VIVT cache aliasing. It also just generally
made the code more complex and hard to maintain for all SoCs.

defined (meaning the code is used for legacy arm platforms that still
define the compile-time PHYSADDR but not on newer systems that calculate
the value at runtime).

that will be done in a separate commit.
