[PATCH part1 v2 3/9] ps3: Get lv1 high memory region from the repository

This lets the bootloader preallocate the high lv1 region and pass its
location to the kernel through the repository. Thus, it can be used to
hold the initrd. If the region info doesn't exist, the kernel retains
the old behavior and attempts to allocate the region itself.

Based on the patch
"[PS3] Get lv1 high memory region from devtree"
from Hector Martin <hector at marcansoft.com>
