Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] mips: Make sure dt memory regions are valid

There are situations when memory regions coming from dts may be
too big for the platform physical address space. This especially
concerns XPA-capable systems. Bootloader may determine more than 4GB
memory available and pass it to the kernel over dts memory node, while
kernel is built without XPA/64BIT support. In this case the region
may either simply be truncated by add_memory_region() method
or by u64->phys_addr_t type casting. But in worst case the method
can even drop the memory region if it exceeds PHYS_ADDR_MAX size.
So lets make sure the retrieved from dts memory regions are valid,
and if some of them aren't, just manually truncate them with a warning
printed out.
