Replace the sparc32-private sp_banks memory description with memblock.

The first two patches convert the SRMMU consumers that already run after
bootmem_init() has populated memblock. The third patch moves memblock
population to prom_meminit() and applies the mem= limit there. Patch 4
removes an unused address bitmap before patch 5 moves the early memory
setup into setup_32.c. Patch 6 removes the now-unused sp_banks array.

This work is based on an earlier eight-patch series by Sam Ravnborg.
Patch 2 directly carries over Sam's memblock sizing conversion. The series
has otherwise been substantially reorganized and reworked for the current
kernel. It retains the sparc32 mem= command-line option by using
memblock_enforce_memory_limit() and uses memblock's exclusive range-end
semantics throughout.

The series applies on top of the sparc32 phys_base and Viking fixes.
setup_memory() preserves relocated-kernel handling by removing RAM below
the physical address to which PAGE_OFFSET maps.

The v1 series was boot tested on a Sun SPARCstation 20 with dual
SuperSPARC-II CPUs (SM71).
The v2 series was boot tested on a Sun SPARCstation 20 with dual
ROSS Hypersparc (RT626) CPUSs.

Changes in v2:
- Add Sam's Reviewed-by tags to patches 1-3 and 6. Patch 6 is the
  unchanged source change from patch 5 in v1, renumbered by the new patch.
- Drop the unused sparc_valid_addr_bitmap in a preparation patch.
- Use for_each_mem_pfn_range() and the standard max_low_pfn variable in
  the early memory setup. This tightens LEON's _pfn_valid() upper bound
  from all memory to the lowmem limit, with no functional change because
  LEON does not use highmem.
