[RFC] arm: Defer lookup of machine_type and vet of atags to setup.c

[Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>]

Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type
information, both the machine type lookup and the atags vetting can be
deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which simplifies the code
somewhat.

This patch removes both __machine_type_lookup and __vet_atags() from
head.S.  The atags vetting is moved to setup_arch().  machine_type
lookup is already called from setup_machine() in addition to where it
was called from head.S.

I've tried to preserve the existing behaviour in this patch so the
extra atags vetting is only using when CONFIG_MMU is selected.  I may
be being overly cautious, and if so then it is probably possible to
simplify the code further.

Hi Russell,

I'm not sure if this is a valid change or not, but from what I can
tell it looks like machine and atag processing no longer needs
to be handled as early as head.S.  Please take a look and let me know
what you think.

I've boot tested this on Tegra and versatile qemu, but that's about
it.

Thanks,
g.
