1c2f87c225 ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo
memblock is now fully integrated into the kernel and is the prefered
method for tracking memory. Rather than reinvent the wheel with
meminfo, migrate to using memblock directly instead of meminfo as
an intermediate.

ff69a4c855 ARM: constify machine_desc structure uses
struct machine_desc records are defined everywhere as a 'const'
structure, but unfortuantely it loses its const-ness through the use of
linker magic - the symbols which surround the section are not declared
const so it becomes possible not to use 'const' for pointers to these
const structures.

Let's fix this oversight - all pointers to these structures should be
marked const too.

716a3dc200 ARM: Add arm_memblock_steal() to allocate memory away from the kernel
Several platforms are now using the memblock_alloc+memblock_free+
memblock_remove trick to obtain memory which won't be mapped in the
kernel's page tables.  Most platforms do this (correctly) in the
->reserve callback.  However, OMAP has started to call these functions
outside of this callback, and this is extremely unsafe - memory will
not be unmapped, and could well be given out after memblock is no
longer responsible for its management.

So, provide arm_memblock_steal() to perform this function, and ensure
that it panic()s if it is used inappropriately.  Convert everyone
over, including OMAP.

As a result, OMAP with OMAP4_ERRATA_I688 enabled will panic on boot
with this change.  Mark this option as BROKEN and make it depend on
BROKEN.  OMAP needs to be fixed, or 137d105d50 (ARM: OMAP4: Fix
errata i688 with MPU interconnect barriers.) reverted until such
time it can be fixed correctly.

4e929d2bcf ARM: fix memblock breakage
Will says:
| Commit e63075a3 removed the explicit MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT #define
| and introduced the requirement that arch code calls
| memblock_set_current_limit to ensure that the __va macro can
| be used on physical addresses returned from memblock_alloc.

Unfortunately, ARM was missed out of this change.  Fix this.
