sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmap

This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
(or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:

    /sys/firmware/memmap/0/start   (hex number)
                           end     (hex number)
                           type    (string)
    ...                 /1/start
                           end
                           type

With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).

  --------- 8< --------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    cd /sys/firmware/memmap
    for dir in * ; do
        start=$(cat $dir/start)
        end=$(cat $dir/end)
        type=$(cat $dir/type)
        printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
    done
  --------- >8 --------------------------

That patch only provides the needed interface:

 1. The sysfs interface.
 2. The structure and enumeration definition.
 3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
    that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
    example) to add the contents to the interface.

If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.

The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:

 - use the original memory map for rebooting,
 - use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
   case that should only represent the memory of the system.

The patch has been tested on i386 and x86_64.

Description:
On all platforms, the firmware provides a memory map which the
kernel reads. The resources from that memory map are registered
in the kernel resource tree and exposed to userspace via
/proc/iomem (together with other resources).
However, on most architectures that firmware-provided memory
map is modified afterwards by the kernel itself, either because
the kernel merges that memory map with other information or
just because the user overwrites that memory map via command
line.
kexec needs the raw firmware-provided memory map to setup the
parameter segment of the kernel that should be booted with
kexec. Also, the raw memory map is useful for debugging. For
that reason, /sys/firmware/memmap is an interface that provides
the raw memory map to userspace.
The structure is as follows: Under /sys/firmware/memmap there
are subdirectories with the number of the entry as their name:
/sys/firmware/memmap/0
/sys/firmware/memmap/1
/sys/firmware/memmap/2
/sys/firmware/memmap/3
...
The maximum depends on the number of memory map entries provided
by the firmware. The order is just the order that the firmware
provides.
Each directory contains three files:
start : The start address (as hexadecimal number with the
'0x' prefix).
end : The end address, inclusive (regardless whether the
firmware provides inclusive or exclusive ranges).
type : Type of the entry as string. See below for a list of
valid types.
So, for example:
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/end
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/type
/sys/firmware/memmap/1/start
...
Currently following types exist:
- System RAM
- ACPI Tables
- ACPI Non-volatile Storage
- reserved
Following shell snippet can be used to display that memory
map in a human-readable format:
-------------------- 8< ----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd /sys/firmware/memmap
for dir in * ; do
start=$(cat $dir/start)
end=$(cat $dir/end)
type=$(cat $dir/type)
printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
done

That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area
