For a relocatable kernel since it can be loaded at any place, there
is no any relation between the kernel start addr and the memstart_addr.
So we can't calculate the memstart_addr from kernel start addr. And
also we can't wait to do the relocation after we get the real
memstart_addr from device tree because it is so late. So introduce
a new function we can use to get the first memblock address and size
in a very early stage (before machine_init).

Introduce common of_flat_dt_match_machine and
of_flat_dt_get_machine_name functions to unify architectures' handling
of machine level model and compatible properties.

Several architectures match the root compatible string with an arch
specific list of machine descriptors duplicating the same search
algorithm. Create a common implementation with a simple architecture
specific hook to iterate over each machine's match table.

Most architectures scan the all the same items early in the FDT and none
are really architecture specific. Create a common early_init_dt_scan to
unify the early scan of root, memory, and chosen nodes in the flattened
DT.

Several architectures using DT support built-in dtb's in the init
section. These platforms need to copy the dtb from init since the
strings are referenced after unflattening. Every arch has their own
copying routine which do the same thing. Create a common function,
unflatten_and_copy_device_tree, to copy the dtb when unflattening the
dtb.

Pull device tree core updates from Grant Likely:
 "Generally minor changes.  A bunch of bug fixes, particularly for
  initialization and some refactoring.  Most notable change if feeding
  the entire flattened tree into the random pool at boot.  May not be
  significant, but shouldn't hurt either"

Tim Bird questions whether the boot time cost of the random feeding may
be noticeable.  And "add_device_randomness()" is definitely not some
speed deamon of a function.

Add a function to scan the flattened device-tree starting from the
node given by the path. It is used to extract information (like reserved
memory), which is required on early boot before we can unflatten the tree.

On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside
outside the 32-bit limit.  These systems need the ability to specify the
initrd location using 64-bit numbers.

This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to
use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long.

There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t.
It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device
tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided
by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not
be tied to the kernel you are booting"

of_alias_* still needs work to be generalized for 'promtree' dt
