armv8/ls2085a: Expose all DDR region(s) to Linux
This patch allows u-boot to expose the complete DDR region(s) to Linux (after subtracting the memory hidden via MEM_TOP_HIDE mechanism). This allows the u-boot to support the 48-bit VA support provided by ARM64 Linux in flavors 3.18 and above, by passing the appropriate 'memory' DTS nodes.

+Booting Linux flavors which do not support 48-bit VA (< Linux 3.18)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+One needs to use appropriate bootargs to boot Linux flavors which do
+not support 48-bit VA (for e.g. < Linux 3.18) by appending mem=2048M, as shown
+below:
+
+=> setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS1,115200 root=/dev/ram
+ earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x21c0600,115200 default_hugepagesz=2m hugepagesz=2m
+ hugepages=16 mem=2048M'
