[PATCH 2/8] ARM: kexec: advertise location of bootable RAM

[Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>]

Advertise the location of bootable RAM to kexec-tools.  kexec needs to
know where it can place the kernel in RAM, and so be executable when
the system needs to jump into it.

Advertise these areas in /proc/iomem with a "System RAM (boot alias)"
tag.
