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 working on this - I hope this will allow us to phase out at
least some of the existing text_offset hacks too.
