arm64: Add simple earlyprintk support
This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.
