ARM: Tegra186: calculate load addresses at boot
In the presence of potentially fragemented memory, we cannot hard-code
addresses into environment variables such as kernel_addr_r. Instead, we
must calculate those addresses at run-time based on available memory
locations. Implement the code to perform such runtime calculation, based
on requirements described in environment variables, to allow the user
full control over the allocation.

ARM: Tegra186: don't map memory not in RAM banks
Tegra186 currently restricts its DRAM usage to entries in the /memory node
in the DTB passed to it. However, the MMU configuration always maps the
entire first 2GB of RAM. This could allow the CPU to speculatively access
RAM that isn't part of the in-use banks. This patch switches to runtime
construction of the table that's used to construct the MMU translation
tables, and thus prevents access to RAM that's not part of a valid bank.
Note: This patch is intended to prevent access to RAM regions which U-Boot
does not need to access, with the primary purpose of avoiding theoretical
speculative access to physical regions for which the HW will throw errors
(e.g. carve-outs that the CPU has no permission to access at a bus level,
bad ECC pages, etc.). In particular, this patch is not deliberately
related to the speculation-related security issues that were recently
announced. The apparent similarity is a coincidence.

ARM: Tegra186: search for best RAM bank
In the future, the list of DRAM regions passed to U-Boot in the DTB may
be quite long and fragmented. Due to this, U-Boot must search through the
regions to find the best region to relocate into, rather than relying on
the current assumption that the top of bank 0 is a reasonable relocation
target. This change implements such searching.

An SMC call is required for all cache-wide operations on Tegra186. This
patch implements the two missing hooks now that U-Boot supports them, and
fixes the mapping of "hook name" to SMC call code.

armv8: add hooks for all cache-wide operations
SoC-specific logic may be required for all forms of cache-wide
operations; invalidate and flush of both dcache and icache (note that
only 3 of the 4 possible combinations make sense, since the icache never
contains dirty lines). This patch adds an optional hook for all
implemented cache-wide operations, and renames the one existing hook to
better represent exactly which operation it is implementing. A dummy
no-op implementation of each hook is provided.

ARM: tegra: translate __asm_flush_l3_cache to assembly
When performing a cache disable function, code must not access DRAM.
That is because when the cache is disabled, it will be bypassed and all
loads and stores will be serviced by RAM. This prevents accessing any
dirty data in the cache. In turn, this means the stack cannot be
used, since that is in RAM. To guarantee that code doesn't use RAM (and
in particular the stack) __asm_flush_l3_cache() must be manually
implemented in assembly, rather than implemented in C since the compiler
won't know not to touch RAM.

ARM: tegra: pick up actual memory size
On Tegra186, U-Boot is booted by the binary firmware as if it were a
Linux kernel. Consequently, a DTB is passed to U-Boot. Cache the address
of that DTB, and parse the /memory/reg property to determine the actual
RAM regions that U-Boot and subsequent EL2/EL1 SW may actually use.
Given the binary FW passes a DTB to U-Boot, I anticipate the suggestion
that U-Boot use that DTB as its control DTB. I don't believe that would
work well, so I do not plan to put any effort into this. By default the
FW-supplied DTB is the L4T kernel's DTB, which uses non-upstreamed DT
bindings. U-Boot aims to use only upstreamed DT bindings, or as close as
it can get. Replacing this DTB with a DTB using upstream bindings is
physically quite easy; simply replace the content of one of the GPT
partitions on the eMMC. However, the binary FW at least partially relies
on the existence/content of some nodes in the DTB, and that requires the
DTB to be written according to downstream bindings. Equally, if U-Boot
continues to use appended DTBs built from its own source tree, as it does
for all other Tegra platforms, development and deployment is much easier.
