[PATCH v31 02/12] arm64: limit memory regions based on DT property, usable-memory-range

Crash dump kernel utilizes only a subset of available memory as System RAM.
On arm64 kdump, This memory range is advertized to crash dump kernel via
a device-tree property under /chosen,
linux,usable-memory-range =

Crash dump kernel reads this property at boot time and calls
memblock_cap_memory_range() to limit usable memory ranges which are
described as entries in UEFI memory map table or "memory" nodes in
a device tree blob.
