vgacon: clean up global screen_info instances

To prepare for completely separating the VGA console screen_info from
the one used in EFI/sysfb, rename the vgacon instances and make them
local as much as possible.

ia64 and arm both have confurations with vgacon and efi, but the contents
never overlaps because ia64 has no EFI framebuffer, and arm only has
vga console on legacy platforms without EFI. Renaming these is required
before the EFI screen_info can be moved into drivers/firmware.

The ia64 vga console is actually registered in two places from
setup_arch(), but one of them is wrong, so drop the one in pcdp.c and
fix the one in setup.c to use the correct conditional.

x86 has to keep them together, as the boot protocol is used to switch
between VGA text console and framebuffer through the screen_info data.

arm/dt: probe for platforms via the device tree

If a dtb is passed to the kernel then the kernel needs to iterate
through compiled-in mdescs looking for one that matches and move the
dtb data to a safe location before it gets accidentally overwritten by
the kernel.

This patch creates a new function, setup_machine_fdt() which is
analogous to the setup_machine_atags() created in the previous patch.
It does all the early setup needed to use a device tree machine
description.

v5: - Print warning with neither dtb nor atags are passed to the kernel
- Fix bug in setting of __machine_arch_type to the selected machine,
not just the last machine in the list.
Reported-by: Tixy <[email protected]>
- Copy command line directly into boot_command_line instead of cmd_line
v4: - Dump some output when a matching machine_desc cannot be found
v3: - Added processing of reserved list.
- Backed out the v2 change that copied instead of reserved the
dtb. dtb is reserved again and the real problem was fixed by
using alloc_bootmem_align() for early allocation of RAM for
unflattening the tree.
- Moved cmd_line and initrd changes to earlier patch to make series
bisectable.
v2: Changed to save the dtb by copying into an allocated buffer.
- Since the dtb will very likely be passed in the first 16k of ram
where the interrupt vectors live, memblock_reserve() is
insufficient to protect the dtb data.

ARM: Fix broken highmem support

Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased
vmalloc area. However, none of this has any effect on the memory
layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped.
Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be
registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available
virtual mapping space.

The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning
of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size
(see commit 60296c71f6c5063e3c1f1d2619ca0b60940162e7 for details on
this).

We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory,
while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem.

Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory
are not supported. This is not a huge limitation since systems
relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory
with large holes.

[ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9ecaf3
and be available in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up
of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage
escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ]
