All these files were including module.h just for the basic
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.  We can shift them off to the
export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus
realize some compile time gains.

For those MMUs that have some form of bolt'd linear mapping (TLB)
required its rare that one ever sets mem= smaller than the size of that
mapping.

However, on Book-E 64 parts the initial linear mapping is quite large
(1G) so its quite reasonable that mem= is set smaller than that.

We need to parse the command line for mem= limit and constrain the
amount of memory we map initially by it if need be.

We stash it in boot_command_line which isn't in BSS and so won't
be overwritten. We then use that as a default cmd_line before
we walk the device-tree.

Reconfiguration notifier call for device node may fail by several reasons,
but it always assumes kmalloc failures.

This enables reconfiguration notifier call chain to get the actual error
code rather than -ENOMEM by converting all reconfiguration notifier calls
to return encapsulate error code with notifier_from_errno().

smp_release_cpus() waits for all cpus (including the bootcpu) due to an
off-by-one count on boot_cpu_count (which is all CPUs).  This patch replaces
that with spinning_secondaries (which is all secondary CPUs).

<title>powerpc: Force page alignment for initrd reserved memory</title>

<id>307cfe715344e15eda12dad3bb14f794115ca823</id>
<content type='text'>
When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align
the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and
subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory
between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved
memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the
early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
the device-tree to be clobbered.

This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page
aligned, and will move the device tree if it overlaps with the range
extension of initrd. This patch will also consolidate the identical
function free_initrd_mem() from mm/init_32.c, init_64.c to mm/mem.c,
and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd. free_initrd_mem()
is also moved to the __init section.

Many thanks to Milton Miller for his input on this patch.
