BMIPS is one of the few platforms that do change the exception base.
After commit 2dcb39645441 ("memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations
with kernel_end") we started seeing BMIPS boards fail to boot with the
built-in FDT being corrupted.

Before the cited commit, early allocations would be in the [kernel_end,
RAM_END] range, but after commit they would be within [RAM_START +
PAGE_SIZE, RAM_END].

The custom exception base handler that is installed by
bmips_ebase_setup() done for BMIPS5000 CPUs ends-up trampling on the
memory region allocated by unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() thus
corrupting the FDT used by the kernel.

To fix this, we need to perform an early reservation of the custom
exception space. So we reserve it already in cpu_probe() for the CPUs
where this is fixed. For CPU with an ebase config register allocation
of exception space will be done in trap_init().

Huge thanks to Serget for analysing and proposing a solution to this
issue.

Fixes: 2dcb39645441 ("memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations with 
kernel_end")

Changes in v2:
 - do only memblock reservation in reserve_exception_space()
 - reserve 0..0x400 for all CPUs without ebase register and
   to addtional reserve_exception_space for BMIPS CPUs
