The updates to powerpc numa and memory hotplug code now use the
in-kernel LMB array instead of the device tree. This change allows the
pseries memory DLPAR code to only update the device tree once after
successfully handling a DLPAR request.
Prior to the in-kernel LMB array, the numa code looked up the affinity
for memory being added in the device tree, the code now looks this up
in the LMB array. This change means the memory hotplug code can just
update the affinity for an LMB in the LMB array instead of updating
the device tree.
This also provides a savings in kernel memory. When updating the
device tree old properties are never free'ed since there is no
usecount on properties. This behavior leads to a new copy of the
property being allocated every time a LMB is added or removed (i.e. a
request to add 100 LMBs creates 100 new copies of the property). With
this update only a single new property is created when a DLPAR request
completes successfully.

The Power Hypervisor has introduced a new device tree format for
the property describing the dynamic reconfiguration LMBs for a system,
ibm,dynamic-memory-v2. This new format condenses the size of the
property, especially on large memory systems, by reporting sets
of LMBs that have the same properties (flags and associativity array
index).
This patch updates the powerpc/mm/drmem.c code to provide routines
that can parse the new device tree format during the walk_drmem_lmb*
routines used during boot, the creation of the LMB array, and updating
the device tree to create a new property in the proper format for
ibm,dynamic-memory-v2.

Now that the powerpc code parses dynamic reconfiguration memory
LMB information from the LMB array and not the device tree
directly we can move the of_drconf_cell struct to drmem.h where
it fits better.
In addition, the struct is renamed to of_drconf_cell_v1 in
anticipation of upcoming support for version 2 of the dynamic
reconfiguration property and the members are typed as __be*
values to reflect how they exist in the device tree.

Update the pseries memory hotplug code to use the newly added
dynamic reconfiguration LMB array. Doing this is required for the
upcoming support of version 2 of the dynamic reconfiguration
device tree property.
In addition, making this change cleans up the code that parses the
LMB information as we no longer need to worry about device tree
format. This allows us to discard one of the first steps on memory
hotplug where we make a working copy of the device tree property and
convert the entire property to cpu format. Instead we just use the
LMB array directly while holding the memory hotplug lock.
This patch also moves the updating of the device tree property to
powerpc/mm/drmem.c. This allows to the hotplug code to work without
needing to know the device tree format and provides a single
routine for updating the device tree property. This new routine
will handle determination of the proper device tree format and
generate a properly formatted device tree property.

Update code in powerpc/numa.c to use the walk_drmem_lmbs()
routine instead of parsing the device tree directly. This is
in anticipation of introducing a new ibm,dynamic-memory-v2
property with a different format. This will allow the numa code
to use a single initialization routine per-LMB irregardless of
the device tree format.
Additionally, to support additional routines in numa.c that need
to look up LMB information, an late_init routine is added to drmem.c
to allocate the array of LMB information. This LMB array will provide
per-LMB information to separate the LMB data from the device tree
format.

We currently have code to parse the dynamic reconfiguration LMB
information from the ibm,dynamic-meory device tree property in
multiple locations; numa.c, prom.c, and pseries/hotplug-memory.c.
In anticipation of adding support for a version 2 of the
ibm,dynamic-memory property this patch aims to separate the device
tree information from the device tree format.
Doing this requires a two step process to avoid a possibly very large
bootmem allocation early in boot. During initial boot, new routines
are provided to walk the device tree property and make a call-back
for each LMB.
The second step (introduced in later patches) will allocate an
array of LMB information that can be used directly without needing
to know the DT format.
This approach provides the benefit of consolidating the device tree
property parsing to a single location and (eventually) providing
a common data structure for retrieving LMB information.
This patch introduces a routine to walk the ibm,dynamic-memory
property in the flattened device tree and updates the prom.c code
to use this to initialize memory.
