[AVR32] Reserve framebuffer memory in early_parse_fbmem()

Browse source 
With the current strategy of using the bootmem allocator to allocate
or reserve framebuffer memory, there's a slight chance that the
requested area has been taken by the boot allocator bitmap before we
get around to reserving it.

By inserting the framebuffer region as a reserved region as early as
possible, we improve our chances for success and we make the region
visible as a reserved region in dmesg and /proc/iomem without any
extra work.

/*
* Early framebuffer allocation. Works as follows:
* - If fbmem_size is zero, nothing will be allocated or reserved.
* - If fbmem_start is zero when setup_bootmem() is called,
* fbmem_size bytes will be allocated from the bootmem allocator.
* a block of fbmem_size bytes will be reserved before bootmem
* initialization. It will be aligned to the largest page size
* that fbmem_size is a multiple of.
* - If fbmem_start is nonzero, an area of size fbmem_size will be
* reserved at the physical address fbmem_start if necessary. If
* the area isn't in a memory region known to the kernel, it will
* be left alone.
* reserved at the physical address fbmem_start if possible. If
* it collides with other reserved memory, a different block of
* same size will be allocated, just as if fbmem_start was zero.
*
* Board-specific code may use these variables to set up platform data
* for the framebuffer driver if fbmem_size is nonzero.
