"ARM Server Base Boot Requiremets" [1] mentions DBG2 (Microsoft Debug
Port Table 2) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that specifies debug ports.

- Move acpi/dt decision earlier in boot process on ARM64
- Move earlycon early_param handling to serial to parse earlycon option once
- Add definition of DBG2 subtypes.  It's the same patch as in the SPCR series [3]
- Refactor ACPI linker tables code to enable iterating over subtables other than
  subtables having acpi_subtype header (such as DBG2)
- Implement macros

	ACPI_DBG2_DECLARE(name, type, subtype, setup_fn, data_ptr)

  that defines a handler for the port of the given type and subtype.
- For each port defined by that macros that is also described in the ACPI DBG2
  table call provided callback.
- Implement a helper macros that can be used to define early serial console
- Enable DBG2 on ARM64
- Define early console for pl011 serial

Based on the original work by Leif Lindholm <leif.lindholm@linaro.org> [4]

Should be applied to next-20160224.

Tested on last QEMU with patches that introduce DBG2 and fix a QEMU bug:

https://git.linaro.org/people/aleksey.makarov/qemu.git amakarov/gdb2.03

v2:
- Fix parse_acpi() (Matthias Brugger)
- Add a reference to QEMU DBG2 patches and to original work
- Rebase to the last linux-next
