mm: add utility for early copy from unmapped ram
When booting an arm64 kernel w/initrd using UEFI/grub, use of mem= will likely cut off part or all of the initrd. This leaves it outside the kernel linear map which leads to failure when unpacking. The x86 code has a similar need to relocate an initrd outside of mapped memory in some cases. The current x86 code uses early_memremap() to copy the original initrd from unmapped to mapped RAM. This patchset creates a generic copy_from_early_mem() utility based on that x86 code and has arm64 and x86 share it in their respective initrd relocation code. This patch (of 3): In some early boot circumstances, it may be necessary to copy from RAM outside the kernel linear mapping to mapped RAM. The need to relocate an initrd is one example in the x86 code. This patch creates a helper function based on current x86 code.
