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.
Thanks to loos@ for pointing out r250753.

the old way was to store pcpu in a register, and get curthread from pcpu,
which is not very atomic, and led to issues if the thread was migrated
to another core between the time we got the pcpu address and the time we
got curthread.
Instead, we now store curthread where pcpu used to be store, and we
calculate the pcpu address based on the cpu id.
