[PATCH v3 00/27] Make LMB memory map global and persistent

This is a follow-up from an earlier RFC series [1] for making the LMB
and EFI memory allocations work together. This is a non-rfc version
with only the LMB part of the patches, for making the LMB memory map
global and persistent.

This is part one of a set of patches which aim to have the LMB and EFI
memory allocations work together. This requires making the LMB memory
map global and persistent, instead of having local, caller specific
maps. This is being done keeping in mind the usage of LMB memory by
platforms where the same memory region can be used to load multiple
different images. What is not allowed is to overwrite memory that has
been allocated by the other module, currently the EFI memory
module. This is being achieved by introducing a new flag,
LMB_NOOVERWRITE, which represents memory which cannot be re-requested
once allocated.

The data structures (alloced lists) required for maintaining the LMB
map are initialised during board init. The LMB module is enabled by
default for the main U-Boot image, while it needs to be enabled for
SPL. This version also uses a stack implementation, as suggested by
Simon Glass to temporarily store the lmb structure instance which is
used during normal operation when running lmb tests. This does away
with the need to run the lmb tests separately.

The tests have been tweaked where needed because of these changes.

The second part of the patches, to be sent subsequently, would work on
having the EFI allocations work with the LMB API's.

Note: These patches are on next, as the alist patches have been
applied to that branch


Changes since V2:
* Use a value of 0 for LMB_NONE instead of BIT(0)
* Put the changes made to the test code as part of this patch, based
  on a review comment to not disable tests.
* Do not define lmb_add_memory() as a weak function.
* Use if(CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(...)) in initr_lmb() instead of an #ifdef.
* Remove the definitions of arch_lmb_reserve() and
  arch_lmb_reserve_generic() functions.
* Introduce a new function lmb_reserve_uboot_region() and call it from
  lmb_reserve_common().
* Move the TCG event log to a location such that it does not clash
  with any load addresses in the tests.
* Adjust the values of CONFIG_TRACE_EARLY_ADDR and U-Boot load address
  for SPL accordingly.
* Put the details of the calling of the dram_init_banksize() function
  in the commit message, as per Simon's review comment.
* Change the logic to accomodate new value of LMB_NONE(0).
* s/print_region_flags()/lmb_print_region_flags().
* s/"LMB_NOMAP"/"no-map".
* s/"LMB_NOOVERWRITE"/"no-overwrite".
