Add a new "fdt_high" enviroment variable. This can be used to control (or prevent) the relocation of the flattened device tree on boot. It can be used to prevent relocation of the fdt into highmem. The variable behaves similarly to the existing "initrd_high" variable.

While I agree in principle with Scott's point that it would be good to understand and fix/improve the ARM bootm_linux_fdt() function, I have bought into Dave's argument that this is a useful environment variable and is symmetric with "initrd_high".
Consequently, I've added this patch to the u-boot-fdt repo. If anyone has strong objects, now is the time to object strongly. ;-)
No, I certainly don't object. My point is simply that it isn't actually a fix for the bug. Either the panda, or the generic arm config needs to have a safe CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ set.
