Sometimes, especially in a production system we may not want to use a "smart bootloader" like u-boot to load kernel, ramdisk and device tree from a filesystem on eMMC, but rather load the kernel from a NAND partition and just run it as soon as we can, and in this case it is convenient to have device tree compiled into the kernel binary. Since this case is not limited to MMU-less systems, let's support it for these which have MMU enabled too. While at it, provide __dtb_start as a parameter to setup_vm() in BUILTIN_DTB case, so we don't have to duplicate BUILTIN_DTB specific processing in MMU-enabled and MMU-disabled versions of setup_vm().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
