For two reasons:
  1. This is the size which both e500v1 and e500v2 support.
  2. Since we always use the PAGE_OFFSET as 0xc0000000, the 256M is
     max alignment value we can use for this virtual address.

Yes. But since RELOCATABLE is a superset of DYNAMIC_MEMSTART, we can always
use RELOCATABLE instead of DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for fsl booke board in any cases.
So DYNAMIC_MEMSTART will seem not so useful after we enable this feature.

It should be fine. We just create the map in the tlb. The MM still use
the real size of memory.

Sure.

Sure.

Should be the start of the kernel. Will fix the comment.
