Subject[PATCH] arm: remove [_text, _stext) from kernel code resource
Date
Remove the [_text, _stext) from Kernel Code.
Although there are some startup code in head.text, they
are freed to the buddy system after kernel boot.

And we have memory protection mechanism use this
which have false alarm when some other IPs doing dma
if the dma page frame is in the [_text, _stext).

Below are my iomem resource and reserved memory information:
console:/ # grep Kernel /proc/iomem
20208000-219fffff : Kernel code
21b00000-21c2e76f : Kernel data

console:/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved
0: 0x20201000..0x20207fff
1: 0x20300000..0x21c2e76f
