amdk8/amdfam10: Use CAR_GLOBAL for sysinfo
This gets rid of the somewhat unstructured placement of AMD's sysinfo structure in CAR. We used to carve out some CAR space using a Kconfig variable, and then put sysinfo there manually (by "virtue" of pointer magic).
Now it's a variable with the CAR_GLOBAL qualifier, and build system magic.
For this, the following steps were done (but must happen together since the intermediates won't build): - Add new CAR_GLOBAL sysinfo_car - point all sysinfo pointers to sysinfo_car instead of GLOBAL_VAR - remove DCACHE_RAM_GLOBAL_VAR_SIZE - from CAR setup (no need to reserve the space) - commented out code (that was commented out for years) - only copy sizeof(sysinfo) into RAM after ram init, where before it copied the whole GLOBAL_VAR area. - from Kconfig
