Enable the flag that allows a platform to ioremap memory marked
as reserved.
This is currently needed on the Nintendo Wii video game console
due to the workaround introduced in "wii: use both mem1 and mem2 as ram".
This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support
for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

Add a flag to let a platform ioremap memory regions marked as reserved.
This flag will be used later by the Nintendo Wii support code to allow
ioremapping the I/O region sitting between MEM1 and MEM2 and marked
as reserved RAM in the patch "wii: use both mem1 and mem2 as ram".
This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support
for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

The Nintendo Wii video game console has two discontiguous RAM regions:
- MEM1: 24MB @ 0x00000000
- MEM2: 64MB @ 0x10000000
Unfortunately, the kernel currently does not support discontiguous RAM
memory regions on 32-bit PowerPC platforms.
This patch adds a series of workarounds to allow the use of the second
memory region (MEM2) as RAM by the kernel.
Basically, a single range of memory from the beginning of MEM1 to the
end of MEM2 is reported to the kernel, and a memory reservation is
created for the hole between MEM1 and MEM2.
With this patch the system is able to use all the available RAM and not
just ~27% of it.
This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support
for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

The top portion of MEM2 (the second 64MB memory block) in the Nintendo
Wii video game console is used by the firmware running on the Starlet
processor.
Add code to calculate the portion of MEM2 safely useable by the
Broadway processor. When running under the 'mini' firmware this is
easily determined from an in-memory header. Otherwise, a safe default
is used.

Add support for using the USB Gecko adapter as an early debugging
console on the Nintendo GameCube and Wii video game consoles.
The USB Gecko is a 3rd party memory card interface adapter that provides
a EXI (External Interface) to USB serial converter.

Add a set of entries to the fixmap table to allow usage of known
reserved virtual address space by early debug code.
The address space reserved is the top 128K of the 32-bit address
space. This allows, if required, the use of a BAT to do the mappings.
