Subject: [PATCH] ARM: zynq: Reserve correct amount of non-DMA RAM

On Zynq, we haven't been reserving the correct amount of DMA-incapable
RAM to keep DMA away from it (per the Zynq TRM Section 4.1, it should be
the first 512k). In older kernels, this was masked by the
memblock_reserve call in arm_memblock_init(). Now, reserve the correct
amount excplicitly rather than relying on swapper_pg_dir, which is an
address and not a size anyway.

Fixes: 46f5b96 ("ARM: zynq: Reserve not DMAable space in front of the
kernel")

For reference this causes problems with DEBUG_RODATA (which changed to
default yes for CPU_V7 in v4.6) due to padding memory between
.head.text and .text, allowing memory below 0x80000 to be available
for allocation as non-reserved memory.

Sorry typo -> s/causes/caused/, as in "... this [incorrect reserving
