Nicolas Pitre bd51e2f595 ARM: 7506/1: allow for ATAGS to be configured out when DT support is selected
Now that ATAGS support is well contained, we can easily remove it from
the kernel build if so desired.  It has to explicitly be disabled, and
only when DT support is selected.

Note: disabling kernel ATAGS support does not prevent the usage of
CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT.

Nicolas Pitre aa783b6fd6 ARM: 7505/1: split out ATAGS parsing
Make ATAGS parsing into a source file of its own, namely atags_parse.c.
Also rename compat.c to atags_compat.c to make it clearer what it is
about.  Same for atags.c which is now atags_proc.c. Gather all the atags
function declarations into a common atags.h.

Richard Purdie 4cd9d6f774 [ARM] 4736/1: Export atags to userspace and allow kexec to use customised atags
Currently, the atags used by kexec are fixed to the ones originally used
to boot the kernel. This is less than ideal as changing the commandline,
initrd and other options would be a useful feature.

This patch exports the atags used for the current kernel to userspace
through an "atags" file in procfs. The presence of the file is
controlled by its own Kconfig option and cleans up several ifdef blocks
into a separate file. The tags for the new kernel are assumed to be at
a fixed location before the kernel image itself. The location of the
tags used to boot the original kernel is unimportant and no longer
saved.

Based on a patch from Uli Luckas <u.luckas@road.de>
