This is a follow-up from an earlier RFC series [1] for making the LMB
and EFI memory allocations work together. This is a non-rfc version
with only the LMB part of the patches, for making the LMB memory map
global and persistent.
This is part one of a set of patches which aim to have the LMB and EFI
memory allocations work together. This requires making the LMB memory
map global and persistent, instead of having local, caller specific
maps. This is being done keeping in mind the usage of LMB memory by
platforms where the same memory region can be used to load multiple
different images. What is not allowed is to overwrite memory that has
been allocated by the other module, currently the EFI memory
module. This is being achieved by introducing a new flag,
LMB_NOOVERWRITE, which represents memory which cannot be re-requested
once allocated.
The data structures (alloced lists) required for maintaining the LMB
map are initialised during board init. The LMB module is enabled by
default for the main U-Boot image, while it needs to be enabled for
SPL. This version also uses a stack implementation, as suggested by
Simon Glass to temporarily store the lmb structure instance which is
used during normal operation when running lmb tests. This does away
with the need to run the lmb tests separately.
The tests have been tweaked where needed because of these changes.
The second part of the patches, to be sent subsequently, would work on
having the EFI allocations work with the LMB API's.

Notes:
1) These patches are on next, as the alist patches have been
applied to that branch.
2) I have tested the boot on the ST DK2 board, but it would be good to
get a T-b/R-b from the ST maintainers.
3) It will be good to test these changes on a PowerPC platform
(ideally an 85xx, as I do not have one).
The current LMB API's for allocating and reserving memory use a
per-caller based memory view. Memory allocated by a caller can then be
overwritten by another caller. Make these allocations and reservations
persistent using the alloced list data structure.
Two alloced lists are declared -- one for the available(free) memory,
and one for the used memory. Once full, the list can then be extended
at runtime.

Most tests don't have this. It helps to keep the test declaration
clearly associated with the function it relates to, rather than the next
one in the file. Remove the extra blank line and mention this in the

These tests are marked as driver model tests, but have nothing to do
with driver model. As a result, they are run as part of 'ut dm' which
only exists for sandbox.
Move them to the 'lib' suite and drop the requirement for initing
devices, since they don't use devices.
Also put the lib_test_lmb_max_regions() macro inside the same #ifdef
as its function, to avoid a build error if the condition is false.

First, this test depends on CONFIG_LMB_USE_MAX_REGIONS, so add that as a
test before building. Second, instead of using a hard-coded value of 8,
which is the default of CONFIG_LMB_USE_MAX_REGIONS previously, use that
directly and update the comments. The only trick here is that one part
of the test itself also was written with the value of 8 itself in mind.
Rework the size of the lmb region we allocate to scale with the value of
CONFIG_LMB_USE_MAX_REGIONS.

The test flags used by driver model are currently not available to other
tests. Rather than creating two sets of flags, make these flags generic
by changing the DM_ prefix to UT_ and moving them to the test.h header.
This will allow adding other test flags without confusion.

These header file should not be included in other header files. Remove
them and add to each individual file. Add test/test.h to test/ui.h since
that is a reasonable place.

At present dm/device.h includes the linux-compatible features. This
requires including linux/compat.h which in turn includes a lot of headers.
One of these is malloc.h which we thus end up including in every file in
U-Boot. Apart from the inefficiency of this, it is problematic for sandbox
which needs to use the system malloc() in some files.
Move the compatibility features into a separate header file.

[trini: Fix test/lib/lmb.c]

This adds two new functions, lmb_alloc_addr and
lmb_get_unreserved_size.
lmb_alloc_addr behaves like lmb_alloc, but it tries to allocate a
pre-specified address range. Unlike lmb_reserve, this address range
must be inside one of the memory ranges that has been set up with
lmb_add.
lmb_get_unreserved_size returns the number of bytes that can be
used up to the next reserved region or the end of valid ram. This
can be 0 if the address passed is reserved.
Added test for these new functions.

lmb_add_region handles overlapping regions wrong: instead of merging
or rejecting to add a new reserved region that overlaps an existing
one, it just adds the new region.
Since internally the same function is used for lmb_alloc, change
lmb_add_region to reject overlapping regions.
Also, to keep reserved memory correct after 'free', reserved entries
created by allocating memory must not set their size to a multiple
of alignment but to the original size. This ensures the reserved
region is completely removed when the caller calls 'lmb_free', as
this one takes the same size as passed to 'lmb_alloc' etc.
Add test to assert this.
