[PATCH] ARM: decompress: Use /memreserve/ DTS nodes when validating memory

If the bootloader needs the start of memory to be preserved, for example
because it dropped the Trusted Firmware blob there, this chunk of memory
shouldn't be used by the kernel.

To avoid adding yet another SoC-specific text offset to arch/arm/Makefile,
this patch allows for a /memreserve/ entry in the DTS to mark off the
memory chunk instead.

Thanks for your patch!

The last parameter of get_val() is the number of cells, not the number
of bytes. Hence it should be 2 for the 64-bit values in the memory
reservation block.

The rest looks good to me.
