[POWERPC] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrd 



At present, when an initrd is passed to the kernel used flat device
tree properties, the memory the initrd occupies must also be reserved
in the flat tree's reserve map, or the kernel may overwrite it.  That
makes life more complicated than it could be for the bootwrapper.

This patch makes the kernel automatically reserve the initrd's space.
That in turn requires parsing the initrd parameters earlier than they
are currently, in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() instead of
check_for_initrd().
