PATCH v2 1/1 ARM: decompress: Use /memreserve/ DTS nodes when validating memory

If the bootloader needs the start of memory to be preserved, for example because it dropped the Trusted Firmware blob there, this chunk of memory shouldn't be used by the kernel.

To avoid adding yet another SoC-specific text offset to arch/arm/Makefile, this patch allows for a /memreserve/ entry in the DTS to mark off the memory chunk instead.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

Thanks for working on this - I hope this will allow us to phase out at least some of the existing text_offset hacks too.
