We can free memory allocated with lmb_alloc() by removing it from the
list of reserved LMBs. Rework lmb_remove() to allow that possibility
and add lmb_free() which exploits it.

Add a flag to let a platform ioremap memory regions marked as reserved.

This flag will be used later by the Nintendo Wii support code to allow
ioremapping the I/O region sitting between MEM1 and MEM2 and marked
as reserved RAM in the patch "wii: use both mem1 and mem2 as ram".

This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support
for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

We call lmb_end_of_DRAM() to test whether a DMA mask is ok on a machine
without IOMMU, but this function is marked as __init.

I don't think there's a clean way to get the top of RAM max_pfn doesn't
appear to include highmem or I missed (or we have a bug :-) so for now,
let's just avoid having a broken 2.6.31 by making this function
non-__init and we can revisit later.

The lmb_dump_all() output didn't include the RMO size, which is
interesting on powerpc. The output was also a bit spacey and not well
aligned, and didn't show you the end addresses.

<content type='text'>
The idea of the implementation of this fix is from Michael Ellerman.

This function has two loops, but they each interpret the memory_limit
value differently.  The first loop interprets it as a "size limit"
whereas the second loop interprets it as an "address limit".

Before the second loop runs, reset memory_limit to lmb_end_of_DRAM()
so that it all works out.

Having to muck with the build and set DEBUG just to
get lmb_dump_all() to print things isn't very useful.

So use pr_info() and use an early boot param
"lmb=debug" so we can simply ask users to reboot
with this option when we need some debugging from
them.

When allocating, if we will align up the size when making
the reservation, we should also align the size for the
check that the space is actually available.

The simplest thing is to just aling the size up from
the beginning, then we can use plain 'size' throughout.

The powerpc kernel maintains information about logical memory blocks
in the lmb.memory structure, which is initialized and updated at boot
time, but not when memory is added or removed while the kernel is
running.

This adds a hotplug memory notifier which updates lmb.memory when
memory is added or removed.  This information is useful for eHEA
driver to find out the memory layout and holes.

NOTE: No special locking is needed for lmb_add() and lmb_remove().
Calls to these are serialized by caller. (pSeries_reconfig_chain).
