Subject: Add arch-specific walk_memory_remove() for ppc64
From: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>

walk_memory_resource() verifies if there are holes in a given memory range, by
checking against /proc/iomem.  On x86/ia64 system memory is represented in
/proc/iomem.  On PPC64, we don't show system memory as IO resource in
/proc/iomem - instead its maintained in /proc/device-tree.

This patch provides a way for an architecture to provide its own
walk_memory_resource() function.  On PPC64, the memory region is small (16MB),
contiguous and non-overlapping.  So extra checking, against device-tree is not
needed.
