[RFC 09/10] arm: implement reserve memory early parameter

[ext-mika.1.westerberg@nokia.com (Mika Westerberg)]

Implemented mem=size$start early parameter which makes it possible to reserve
some memory from the kernel. This can be used for dump capture kernels to
preserve any memory used by the primary kernel.
