[PATCH 4/9] ppc64 - Specify amount of kernel memory at boot time

[Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>]

This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for ppc64.

The amount of memory will requested will not be reserved in all nodes. The
first node that is found that can accomodate the requested amount of memory
and have remaining more for ZONE_EASYRCLM is used. If a node has memory holes,
it also will not be used.
