After reading all the following patches,

1. use CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET to prepare for removal of a bunch of
<mach/memory.h> files

2. move from ARM_DMA_ZONE_SIZE to mdesc->dma_zone_size

3. convert boot_params to atag_offset

Have i lost anything for the work on 1 and 2? considering some
platforms need CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE more than the default 2MB in
arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h, we can't remove all memory.h only by
defining CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET and moving ARM_DMA_ZONE_SIZE to
mdesc->dma_zone_size. So CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE should also be a left
issue except gpio.h.
