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.

Notes:
1) These patches are on next, as the alist patches have been
applied to that branch.
2) I have tested the boot on the ST DK2 board, but it would be good to
get a T-b/R-b from the ST maintainers.
3) It will be good to test these changes on a PowerPC platform
(ideally an 85xx, as I do not have one).
Changes since V3:
* Fix checkpatch warnings of spaces between function name and
open parantheses.
* s/uint64_t/u64 as suggested by checkpatch.
* Remove unneccessary parantheses in lmb.c as suggested by checkpatch.
* Fix alignment in test/cmd/bdinfo.c as suggested by checkpatch.
* Do away with multiple assignments in lmb_resize_regions() as
suggested by checkpatch.
* Fix the alignment in arch_lmb_reserve_generic() as suggested by
checkpatch.
* Removed the additional blank line in arch/powerpc/lib/misc.c as
suggested by checkpatch.
* Added spaces in the CFG_SYS_LINUX_LOWMEM_MAX_SIZE value as suggested
by checkpatch.
* Added a missing blank line in arch/powerpc/lib/misc.c as suggested
by checkpatch.
* s/16384/SZ_16K in lmb_reserve_uboot_region().
* Fix the corresponding comment for the above change.
* Fixed the alignment in lmb_reserve_uboot_region() as suggested by
checkpatch.
* s/uint32_t/u32 in optee_get_reserved_memory() as suggested by
checkpatch.
* Put the tertiary expression in the puts() function call as suggested
by Simon Glass.
* s/uin64_t/u64 in lmb_print_region_flags() as suggested by checkpatch.
