At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice
for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour.
This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with
memory reserve map. Which regions are automatically reserved by the
kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel
could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed
in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble.
This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to
reserve a previously reserved region. It also removes a now redundant
test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above.
At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an
identical region. Attempting to reserve two different, but
overlapping regions will still cause problems. I might post another
patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it
is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur
and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

There's a bug in my cleaned up mem= handling, if the memory limit is
larger than the RMO size we'll erroneously enlarge the RMO size.
Fix is to only change the RMO size if the memory limit is less than
the current RMO value.

We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.
Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.
This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.
Tested on P5 LPAR, iSeries, F50, 44p. Tested moving device tree on P5 and
44p and F50.

My patch (d7a5b2ffa1352f0310630934a56aecbdfb617b72) to always panic if
lmb_alloc() fails is broken because it checks alloc < 0, but should be
checking alloc == 0.

LMB_ALLOC_ANYWHERE doesn't need to be part of the API, it's only used in
lmb.c - so move it out of the header file.

Currently most callers of lmb_alloc() don't check if it worked or not, if it
ever does weird bad things will probably happen. The few callers who do check
just panic or BUG_ON.
So make lmb_alloc() panic internally, to catch bugs at the source. The few
callers who did check the result no longer need to.
The only caller that did anything interesting with the return result was
careful_allocation(). For it we create __lmb_alloc_base() which _doesn't_ panic
automatically, a little messy, but passable.

To prevent problems later in boot, make sure we don't create zero-size lmb
regions.
I've checked all the callers, and at the moment no one should ever hit this.
All callers use a constant size, or they check the computed size before they
call us.

Somewhere we lost the include of udbg.h in lmb.c. While we're there, add a DBG
macro like every other file has and use it in lmb_dump_all().

This also creates merged versions of do_init_bootmem, paging_init
and mem_init and moves them to arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c. It gets rid
of the mem_pieces stuff.
I made memory_limit a parameter to lmb_enforce_memory_limit rather
than a global referenced by that function. This will require some
small changes to ppc64 if we want to continue building ARCH=ppc64
using the merged lmb.c.
