At times, memory ranges have to be looked up during early boot, when
kernel couldn't be initialized for dynamic memory allocation. In fact,
reserved-ranges look up is needed during FADump memory reservation.
Without accounting for reserved-ranges in reserving memory for FADump,
MPIPL boot fails with memory corruption issues. So, extend memory
ranges handling to support static allocation and populate reserved
memory ranges during early boot.

OPAL loads kernel & initrd at 512MB offset (256MB size), also exported
as ibm,opal/dump/fw-load-area. So, if boot memory size of FADump is
less than 768MB, kernel memory to be exported as '/proc/vmcore' would
be overwritten by f/w while loading kernel & initrd. To avoid such a
scenario, enforce a minimum boot memory size of 768MB on OPAL platform
and skip using FADump if a newer F/W version loads kernel & initrd
above 768MB.
Also, irrespective of RMA size, set the minimum boot memory size
expected on pseries platform at 320MB. This is to avoid inflating the
minimum memory requirements on systems with 512M/1024M RMA size.

Add a new kernel config option, CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP that ensures
that crash data, from previously crash'ed kernel, is preserved. This
helps in cases where FADump is not enabled but the subsequent memory
preserving kernel boot is likely to process this crash data. One
typical usecase for this config option is petitboot kernel.
As OPAL allows registering address with it in the first kernel and
retrieving it after MPIPL, use it to store the top of boot memory.
A kernel that intends to preserve crash data retrieves it and avoids
using memory beyond this address.
Move arch_reserved_kernel_pages() function as it is needed for both
FA_DUMP and PRESERVE_FA_DUMP configurations.

Add helper functions to setup & free CPU notes buffer and to find if a
given memory area is contiguous. Also, use boolean as return type for
the function that finds if boot memory area is contiguous. While at
it, save the virtual address of CPU notes buffer instead of physical
address as virtual address is used often.
