[PATCH v3 0/2] of: reserved_mem: use dynamically allocated reserved_mem array

[Marek Szyprowski]

Mike Rapoport suggested [1] how to properly use dynamically allocated
arrays during early boot.

Use this approach for reserved_mem array during early scan of the
reserved regions. Having all the reserved regions in a single array
removes the need of the two pass initialization introduced by commit
8a6e02d0c00e ("of: reserved_mem: Restructure how the reserved memory
regions are processed"), so implement it to make the code simpler,
easier to understand and ready for adding proper error checking.

Tested on ARM32, ARM64 and RiscV64 based boards. Arch specific issues
with early mappings were discovered by LLM.

Changelog:

v3:
- allocate the reserved_mem array only after all static regions are
  reserved or marked as no-map, so it cannot be placed inside any of
  them
- record failures of the early static reservations and print a single
  message asking to fix the device-tree
- restore conditional compilation of the early mapping code, because
  some architectures lack support for it (C-SKY & Sparc64 as reported
  by kbuild robot)
- allocate the array bottom-up, to avoid allocating from highmem, what
  might be an issue on Xtensa, C-SKY and MIPS32
- don't use the early mapping on PPC64, where the scan is done before
  early_ioremap_setup()

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261008152403.766439-1-m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- removed superfluous ifdefs

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261008094125.3197971-1-m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx/
