The ->smp_init_cpus() function is called very early during boot, at a point where dynamic I/O mappings are not yet possible. However, in the Armada 370/XP implementation of this function, we have to get the number of CPUs. We used to do that by accessing a hardware register, which requires relying on a static I/O mapping set up by ->map_io(). Not only this requires hardcoding a virtual address, but it also prevents us from removing the static I/O mapping. So this commit changes the way used to get the number of CPUs: we now use the Device Tree, which is a representation of the hardware, and provides us the number of available CPUs. This is also more accurate, because it potentially allows to boot the Linux kernel on only a number of CPUs given by the Device Tree, instead of unconditionally on all CPUs. As a consequence, the coherency_get_cpu_count() function becomes no longer used, so we remove it.

The changes needed to migrate the mach-mvebu (Armada 370 and Armada XP) to the mvebu-mbus driver are fairly minimal, since not many devices currently supported on those SoCs use address decoding windows. The only one being the BootROM window, used to bring up secondary CPUs. However, this BootROM window needed for SMP brings an important requirement: the mvebu-mbus driver must be initialized at the ->early_init() time, otherwise the BootROM window cannot be setup early enough to be ready before the secondary CPUs are started.

This enables SMP support on the Armada XP processor. It adds the mandatory functions to support SMP such as: the SMP initialization functions in platsmp.c, the secondary CPU entry point in headsmp.S and the CPU hotplug initial support in hotplug.c.
