powerpc/vmemmap: Add altmap support
Adds support to powerpc for the altmap feature of ZONE_DEVICE memory. An altmap is a driver provided region that is used to provide the backing storage for the struct pages of ZONE_DEVICE memory. In situations where large amount of ZONE_DEVICE memory is being added to the system the altmap reduces pressure on main system memory by allowing the mm/ metadata to be stored on the device itself rather in main memory.
