[RFC/RFT PATCH 5/5] ARM: mm: Remove bootmem code and switch to NO_BOOTMEM

In the effort of using memblock instead of bootmem allocator, ARM arch
needs to be converted to use NO_BOOTMEM. With NO_BOOTMEM change,
now we use memblock allocator to reserve space for crash kernel to
have one less dependency with nobootmem allocator wrapper.

Hopefully the NO_BOOTMEM memblock wrapper(nobootmem.c) will vanish in
near future and archs can directly use memblock APIs. Ongoing thread
on this topic is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/77

Boot tested with both flat memory and sparse (faked) memory models
with highmem enabled. LAPE systems with memory starting > 4GB still
won't work but this is one of the step to solve that problem for ARM.
