[PATCH v9 01/10] memblock: Introduce MEMBLOCK_LLMAP

[Vincent Donnefort via OP-TEE <op-tee@lists.trustedfirmware.org>]

Keeping last-level mappings is interesting on some architectures as it
allows mapping/unmapping pages from the kernel direct map without the
risk of splitting blocks which, under the break-before-make rule, may
trigger page-faults the kernel can't handle.

However, mapping the entire direct map at PTE-level is costly. So
instead, create a new memblock flag MEMBLOCK_LLMAP to enable the system
to decide which region must be covered by mappings up to the last-level.
