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.

64bits DTB
When CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB is selected, if the bootloader provides
an ATAG_MEM it replaces the memory size and the memory address in the
memory node of the device tree. In the case of a system which can
handle more than 4GB, the memory node cell size is 4: each data
(memory size and memory address) are 64 bits and then use 2 cells.
The current code in atags_to_fdt.c made the assumption of a cell size
of 2 (one cell for the memory size and one cell for the memory
address), this leads to an improper write of the data and ends with a
boot hang.
This patch writes the memory size and the memory address on the memory
node in the device tree depending of the size of the memory node (32
bits or 64 bits).
It has been tested in the 2 cases:
- with a dtb using skeleton.dtsi
- and with a dtb using skeleton64.dtsi

This patch allows the ATAG_CMDLINE provided by the bootloader to be
concatenated to the bootargs property of the device tree.
This is useful to merge static values defined in the device tree
with the boot loader's (possibly) more dynamic values, such as
startup reasons and more.
The bootloader should use the device tree to pass those values to
the kernel, but that's not always simple (old bootloader or very
small one).
The behaviour is the same as the one introduced by Victor Boivie in
4394c1244249198c6b85093d46935b761b36ae05 by extending the CONFIG_CMDLINE.

Some bootloaders are broken enough to expose an ATAG_MEM with
a null size. Converting such tag to a memory node leads to
an unbootable system.
Skip over zero sized ATAG_MEM to avoid this situation.

Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one,
yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled
kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those
ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage.
Currently the following ATAGs are converted:
ATAG_CMDLINE
ATAG_MEM
ATAG_INITRD2
If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it
is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it.
The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon
entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at
finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made.
Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.
Thisstarted from an older patch from John Bonesio <bones@secretlab.ca>,
with contributions from David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org>.
