[PATCH v2 2/5] arm64: use fixmap region for permanent FDT mapping
Ard Biesheuvel

Wed Mar 11 09:00:17 PDT 2015
Currently, the FDT blob needs to be in the same naturally aligned
512 MB region as the kernel, so that it can be mapped into the
kernel virtual memory space very early on using a minimal set of
statically allocated translation tables.
Now that we have early fixmap support, we can relax this restriction,
by moving the permanent FDT mapping to the fixmap region instead.
This way, the FDT blob may be anywhere in memory.
This also moves the vetting of the FDT to setup.c, since the early
init code in head.S does not handle mapping of the FDT anymore.
At the same time, fix up some comments in head.S that have gone stale.
