    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
