Instead of having in the makefile all the option that
requires rheap, we define a configuration symbol
and when needed we make sure it's selected.

Theses can be useful in modules too. So we export them.

This patch introduces zalloc_maybe_bootmem and uses it so that we don't
have to mark a whole (largish) routine as __init_ref_ok.

Linus made this suggestion for the x86 merge and this starts the process
for powerpc.  We assume that CONFIG_PPC64 implies CONFIG_PPC_MERGE and
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 implies CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU.

<title>Remove fs.h from mm.h</title>

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

The patch adds fragments caused by rh_alloc_align() back to free list, instead
of allocating the whole chunk of memory.  This will greatly improve memory
utilization managed by rheap.

It solves MURAM not enough problem with 3 UCCs enabled on MPC8323.

<title>[POWERPC] Fix alignment problem in rh_alloc_align() with exact-sized blocks</title>

When an rheap is created, the caller can specify the alignment to use.  In
rh_alloc_align(), if a free block is found that is the exact size needed
(including extra space for alignment), that configured alignment value is not
used to align the pointer.  Instead, the default alignment is used.  If the
default alignment is smaller than the configured alignment, then the returned
value will not be aligned correctly.

<title>[POWERPC] Change rheap functions to use ulongs instead of pointers</title>

The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
into a buffer.  A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
the allocation functions.

This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
integers instead of a pointer.  In case of an error, the value returned is
a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long.  The caller can
use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.

All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly.  Macros
IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().

Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().
