[ARM] fixmap support

This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by
architectures supporting highmem.

We have a second level page table already allocated and covering
0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located
at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above
0xffff0000.  Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free
to be used.

However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses
between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff.

So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff.

The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly,
including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping
region which didn't match the code.
