[PATCH v2 4/7] arm64: mm: explicitly bootstrap the linear mapping

In preparation of moving the kernel text out of the linear
mapping, ensure that the part of the kernel Image that contains
the statically allocated page tables is made accessible via the
linear mapping before performing the actual mapping of all of
memory. This is needed by the normal mapping routines, that rely
on the linear mapping to walk the page tables while manipulating
them.

In addition, explicitly map the start of DRAM and set the memblock
limit so that all early memblock allocations are done from a region
that is guaranteed to be mapped.
