Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type
information, both the machine type lookup and the atags vetting can be
deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which simplifies the code
somewhat.

This patch removes both __machine_type_lookup and __vet_atags() from
head.S. ?The atags vetting is moved to setup_arch(). ?machine_type
lookup is already called from setup_machine() in addition to where it
was called from head.S.

While at it, you could also remove the code for __lookup_machine_type,
lookup_machine_type and __error_a, replacing that with a C
implementation living in setup.c instead. ?If this code is not called
from head.S anymore, there is no reason to keep it there any longer.

Certainly.  I'll draft that up as a separate patch and post it tomorrow.
