Replace the sparc32-private sp_banks memory description with memblock.

The first two patches convert the SRMMU consumers that already run after
bootmem_init() has populated memblock. The third patch moves memblock
population to prom_meminit() and applies the mem= limit there, keeping that
intermediate state correct. The fourth patch moves the early memory setup
into setup_32.c and the final patch removes the now-unused sp_banks array.

This work is based on an earlier eight-patch series by Sam Ravnborg.
Patch 2 directly carries over Sam's memblock sizing conversion. The series
has otherwise been substantially reorganized and reworked for the current
kernel. Compared with Sam's series, this version is ported to the current
generic MM setup, keeps the sparc32 mem= command-line option by using
memblock_enforce_memory_limit(), and uses memblock's exclusive range-end
semantics throughout.

The series is based on top of the sparc32 phys_base and Viking fixes. In
particular, setup_memory() preserves the relocated-kernel handling by
removing RAM below the physical address to which PAGE_OFFSET maps.

This series is boot tested on a Sun SPARCstation-20 with dual
Supersparc-II cpu (SM71) as well as dual Hypersparc RT626.
