Aneesh Kumar K.V 6aba0c84ec powerpc/mm: Check memblock_add against MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS range
With SPARSEMEM config enabled, we make sure that we don't add sections beyond
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS range. This results in not building vmemmap mapping for
range beyond max range. But our memblock layer looks the device tree and create
mapping for the full memory range. Prevent this by checking against
MAX_PHSYSMEM_BITS when doing memblock_add.

We don't do similar check for memeblock_reserve_range. If reserve range is beyond
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS we expect that to be configured with 'nomap'. Any other
reserved range should come from existing memblock ranges which we already
filtered while adding.

This avoids crash as below when running on a system with system ram config above
MAX_PHSYSMEM_BITS

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
