[PATCH 0/2] arm: add early_ioremap() support

[Leif Lindholm]

x86 and ia64 have the early_ioremap()/early_iounmap() functions, which are
useful for supporting things like UEFI, ACPI and SMBIOS, where configuration
tables need to be parsed before proper memory management is available,
regardless of highmem status.

This patchset implements a restricted form of early_ioremap(), available
before paging_init() only. Like the x86 code on which it is based, it
(p)re-uses the fixmap regions for its virtual mapping range. Up to 7
simultaneous mappings of up to 128KB can be accommodated in the available
fixmap space.
