[PATCH v3 0/7] Unflattening and relocation of host device tree



The current patch series introduces the relocation of the host device tree file
to free up low memory and also it is expected that discard_initial_modules()
will be called sooner or later, it will discard the FDT boot module,
and remove_early_mappings() will destroy the early mappings.

In addition to relocation, unflattening is introduced to create the tree of
struct device_node for the host device tree.

To implement this, several things have been introduced:
 - destroy_xen_mappings() function, which removes page mappings from Xen's
   page tables. This is necessary for clear_fixmap().
 - {set,clear}_fixmap() functions to manage mappings in the fixmap region,
   which are expected to be used in copy_from_paddr() to copy the FDT to Xen's
   heap.
 - Introduce new config CONFIG_QEMU which is going to be used to cover changes
   connected to QEMU virtual board. It will be used during introduction of stubs
   for clean_and_invalidate_dcache_va_range() and clean_dcache_va_range(),
   which are expected to be used in copy_from_paddr() and flush_page_to_ram(),
   which in turn are expected to be used during the call to xvmalloc_array() in
   relocate_fdt().
   In case of QEMU cached related functions are implemented as returning 0 as
   QEMU doesn't model cache ( and so CMO extensions ). For others cases, it is
   introduced as -ENOSUPP as h/w could support CMO extension ( or hardware
   specific insertions ) and it will need to update implementation of the
   mentioned functions.
 - The introduction of copy_from_paddr() to copy the FDT to an address
   allocated in Xen's heap.
