Add support for handling the "linux,usable-memory-range" property in the
"/chosen" node to the FDT core code. This can co-exist safely with the
architecture-specific handling, until the latter has been removed.

There are two methods to specify the location of the elf core headers:
using the "elfcorehdr=" kernel parameter, as handled by generic code in
kernel/crash_dump.c, or using the "linux,elfcorehdr" property under the
"/chosen" node in the Device Tree, as handled by architecture-specific
code in arch/arm64/mm/init.c.
Extend support for "linux,elfcorehdr" to all platforms supporting DT by
adding platform-agnostic handling for handling this property to the FDT
core code. This can co-exist safely with the architecture-specific
handling, until the latter has been removed.
This requires moving the call to of_scan_flat_dt() up, as the code
scanning the "/chosen" node now needs to be aware of the values of
"#address-cells" and "#size-cells".

These properties have been in use for a very long time (at least since
2005), but were never documented in chosen.txt.

Document the /chosen/kaslr-seed property (and its interaction with the
EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL API). Thanks to Ard for clarifications.

The Devicetree Specification has superseded the ePAPR as the
base specification for bindings. Update files in Documentation
to reference the new document.
First reference to ePAPR in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cci.txt
is generic, remove it.
Some files are not updated because there is no hypervisor chapter
in the Devicetree Specification:

Add documentation for DT properties:
linux,usable-memory-range
linux,elfcorehdr
used by arm64 kdump. Those are, respectively, a usable memory range
allocated to crash dump kernel and the elfcorehdr's location within it.

The SMP release mechanism for FSL book3e is different from when booting
with normal hardware. In theory we could simulate the normal spin
table mechanism, but not at the addresses U-Boot put in the device tree
-- so there'd need to be even more communication between the kernel and
kexec to set that up. Instead, kexec-tools will set a boolean property
linux,booted-from-kexec in the /chosen node.

Add a global binding for the chosen node. Include a description of the
stdout-path, and an explicit statement on its extra options in the
context of a UART console.
Opening description stolen from www.devicetree.org, and part of the
remaining text provided by Mark Rutland.
