cpm_uart: use dpram for early console

Panto, Kumar,

Can something semantically equivalent to this be merged please.

m8xx_cpm_hostalloc() can't rely on using the coherent DMA allocator
early on boot because the VM is not fully up yet.

The current code relies on the "bootmem_page" allocated by 
m8xx_cpm_reset(), which must be killed.
