No ifdefs around function declarations please. Also, this should
go somewhere under arch/arm/include.

BTW this conflicts with my mmu series I recently sent. Having this
arm_add_mem_device function is a good thing, but now one of us has
to do his series again :(
For the mmu to just work on all boards I need a place where I know
that all memory has been registered. For this I wanted to introduce
a memory_initcall (we could also reuse console_initcall, but I thought
having a dedicated initcall is cleaner). Then I could initialize the
mmu in a later initcall.

I known but I wish we drop the mmu_init in the board at all
and manage it in a generic part

so no need to touch the board mem register

That's my goal aswell, but the mmu init needs to be done when the memory
is registered but still no driver uses dma_alloc_coherent. Currently
this place does not exist since every board does the memory registration
at some random place.
The mmu code can't remap sdram without knowing where it is.

yeah, so in te mmu rework we introduction a initcall for mem init
and an other othrer one (post_mem_init) where we do the mmu_init
if ok I rebase you patched over mine
