m805_893x memory layout

The bootloader passes memory layout profile to kernel via tag pmap.

The address/size of TAG/Kernel/Ramdisk are decided by macros in

lk/target/m805_893x_evm/rule.mk:

BASE_ADDR := 0x80000000

MEMBASE := 0x82000000

MEMSIZE := 0x01000000   //16MB

TAGS_ADDR := BASE_ADDR+0x00000100

KERNEL_ADDR := BASE_ADDR+0x00008000

RAMDISK_ADDR := BASE_ADDR+0x01000000

The log shows:

According to the log info, together with the official spec,  we can get the system memory layout like this:

Max UMP heap size is 64MB              NOTE: __virt_to_phys(x)    (x) - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET

             PHYS_OFFSET = 0x80000000;

As we can see,  the virtual address space, from 0xc2000000 t0 0xce600000 (198MB), is reserved for specific 8935 hardware blocks, like VIQE, FB, and so forth.

The virtual address spaces, from 0xc0000000 t0 0xc2000000 and from 0xce600000 - 0xFFFFFFFF (total 826MB) is used by ATAG / Kimage / ramdisk /kernel.

NOTE: 198 + 826 = 1024MB (on-board DDR3)
