[PATCH] powerpc: Add support for "linux,usable-memory" on memory nodes
Milton has proposed that we should support a "linux,usable-memory" property on memory nodes which describes, in preference to "reg", the regions of memory Linux should use. This facility is required for kdump to inform the second kernel which memory it should use.
