[PATCH] arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI mode

[PATCH] arm64: ignore DT memreserve entries when booting in UEFI mode

[Leif Lindholm]

UEFI provides its own method for marking regions to reserve, via the
memory map which is also used to initialise memblock. So when using the
UEFI memory map, ignore any memreserve entries present in the DT.

It's worth noting that no-one is relying on this at present, and were
they it would imply that their UEFI implementation is broken (providing
a dodgy memory map).

So before people start doing dodgy things, let's, close that hole. If we
need a way of modifying the memory map we should come up with a more
general plan.

Nothing outside of arch/x86 seems to hang off this, so using it here
looks fine.

And this is a false stub for !EFI, so that looks fine.

FWIW:

I wonder if we have any other flat tree uses we need to be careful of
when booting via EFI.

Thanks
Mark.

Catalin - any comments?
As it is a bugfix, can it go into 3.17?

It looks fine to me:

(cc'ing Will who handles the 3.17 merging)
