[AVR32] Reserve framebuffer memory in early_parse_fbmem()
With the current strategy of using the bootmem allocator to allocate or reserve framebuffer memory, there's a slight chance that the requested area has been taken by the boot allocator bitmap before we get around to reserving it. By inserting the framebuffer region as a reserved region as early as possible, we improve our chances for success and we make the region visible as a reserved region in dmesg and /proc/iomem without any extra work.

/*
* Early framebuffer allocation. Works as follows:
* - If fbmem_size is zero, nothing will be allocated or reserved.
* - If fbmem_start is zero when setup_bootmem() is called,
- * fbmem_size bytes will be allocated from the bootmem allocator.
+ * a block of fbmem_size bytes will be reserved before bootmem
+ * initialization. It will be aligned to the largest page size
+ * that fbmem_size is a multiple of.
* - If fbmem_start is nonzero, an area of size fbmem_size will be
- * reserved at the physical address fbmem_start if necessary. If
- * the area isn't in a memory region known to the kernel, it will
- * be left alone.
+ * reserved at the physical address fbmem_start if possible. If
+ * it collides with other reserved memory, a different block of
+ * same size will be allocated, just as if fbmem_start was zero.
*
* Board-specific code may use these variables to set up platform data
* for the framebuffer driver if fbmem_size is nonzero.
