ARM: mpu: add MPU probe and initialisation functions in C

Browse source

This patch adds new functions for probing and initialising the ARMv7
PMSA-compliant MPU.

These use the pre-defined and reserved MPU_PROBE_REGION for establishing
properties of the MPU, which is necessary because certain probe operations
require modifying region properties and reading back the results.

This patch also introduces a minimal sanity_check_meminfo_mpu function, that
ensures that the memory set-up passed to the kernel can be used in conjunction
with the MPU. The base address of a region must be aligned to the region size,
otherwise behavior is unpredictable and region sizes can only be specified as a
power-of-two. To simplify the satisfaction of these requirements this
implementation currently enforces that all memory is contiguous from
PHYS_OFFSET, merging banks that are contiguous but passed in separately.

The functions are added in this patch but wired in to the boot process later
in the series.
