Now setup_data is reserved via memblock and e820 and different
handlers have different ways, and it is confusing.
1. SETUP_E820_EXT: is consumed early and will not copy or access again.
        have memory wasted.
2. SETUP_EFI: is accessed via ioremap every time at early stage.
        have memory wasted.
3. SETUP_DTB: is copied locally.
        have memory wasted.
4. SETUP_PCI: is accessed via ioremap for every pci devices, even run-time.
5. SETUP_KASLR: is accessed early, will not copy or access again.
        have memory wasted.

Also setup_data is exported to debugfs for debug purpose.

Here will convert to let every handler to decide how to handle it.
and will not reserve the setup_data generally, so will not
waste memory and also make memblock/e820 keep page aligned.
1. not touch E820 anymore.
2. copy SETUP_EFI to __initdata variable and access it without ioremap.
3. SETUP_DTB: reserver and copy to local and free.
4. SETUP_PCI: reverve localy and convert to list, to avoid keeping ioremap.
5. export SETUP_PCI via sysfs.

Also put them in:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git for-x86-4.0-rc2-setup_data

Should be materials for v4.1.

Thanks

Yinghai Lu

-v3: separated with kasl patches, and fix early_ioremap return checking.
