This patch adds a mechanism to set aside a region of cache-coherent
(i.e. usually uncached) virtual memory, which can be used to communicate
with DMA devices without automatic cache snooping (common on ARM)
without the need of explicit flush/invalidation instructions in the
driver code.
This works by setting aside said region in the (board-specific) page
table setup, as exemplary done in this patch for the Snow and Pit
boards. It uses a new mechanism for adding board-specific Coreboot table
entries to describe this region in an entry with the LB_DMA tag.
Libpayload's memory allocator is enhanced to be able to operate on
distinct types/regions of memory. It provides dma_malloc() and
dma_memalign() functions for use in drivers, which by default just
operate on the same heap as their traditional counterparts. However, if
the Coreboot table parsing code finds a CB_DMA section, further requests
through the dma_xxx() functions will return memory from the region
described therein instead.

There are three coreboot table tags that all define some kind of memory
region, and each has their own homologous struct. I'm about to add a
fourth so I'll just clean this up and turn it into a generic struct
lb_range instead.

When libpayload header files are included in the payload itself, it's possible
that the payloads config settings will conflict with the ones in libpayload.
It's also possible for the libpayload config settings to conflict with the
payloads. To avoid that, the libpayload config settings have _LP_ (for
libpayload) added to them. The symbols themselves as defined in the Config.in files
are still the same, but the prefix added to them is now CONFIG_LP_ instead of just
CONFIG_.

The address range to scan for the coreboot tables varies from machine to
machine based on the range memory occupies on the SOC being booted and on the
amount of memory installed on the machine. To make libpayload work on
different ARM systems with different needs, this change makes the region to
scan configurable. In the future, we might want to come up with a more
automatic mechanism like on x86, although there's less consistency on ARM as
far as what ranges are even memory in the first place.

Otherwise the code would try to parse GPIOs when encountering
a mainboard entry in the coreboot table. This never caused any
problems because the mainboard entry is parsed before the GPIO
entry.

After another incident related to virtual pointers in lib_sysinfo (and
resulting confusion), I decided to put some comments on the matter into
the code.
Remember, we decided to always use virtual pointers in lib_sysinfo, but
it's not always obvious from the code, that they are.

These live at the bottom of memory on x86, but that's IO mapped on the exynos.
The particular range used will likely need to be configurable, but this will
make it work in one more case than it used to.
