MIPS: cmdline: Add support for 'memmap' parameter
Implement support for parsing 'memmap' kernel command line parameter. This patch covers parsing of the following two formats for 'memmap' parameter values: - nn[KMG]@ss[KMG] - nn[KMG]$ss[KMG] ([KMG] = K M or G (kilo, mega, giga)) These two allowed formats for parameter value are already documented in file kernel-parameters.txt in Documentation/admin-guide folder. Some architectures already support them, but Mips did not prior to this patch. Excerpt from Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt: memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG] [KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory. Region of memory to be used is from ss to ss+nn. memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG] Mark specific memory as reserved. Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn. Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff memmap=64K$0x18690000 or memmap=0x10000$0x18690000 There is no need to update this documentation file with respect to this patch.
