[PATCH 1/3] ARM: mmu: Setup MT_MEMORY and MT_MEMORY_NONACHED L1 entries

This patch populates the L1 entries for MT_MEMORY and MT_MEMORY_NONACHED
types so that at boot-up, we can map memories outside system memory
at page level granularity

Previously the mapping was limiting to section level, which creates
unnecessary addiotional mapping for which physical memory may not
present. On the newer ARM with speculation, this is dangerous and can
result in untraceable aborts.

The patch is based on inputs from Russell King
