Subject: [PATCH] memblock: add memblock_start_of_DRAM()

SPARC32 require access to the start address.
Add a new helper memblock_start_of_DRAM() to give
access to the address of the first memblock - which
contains the lowest address.

The ackward name was chosen to match the already present
memblock_end_of_DRAM().

Hi Tejun.

I have started to replace bootmem with memblock for sparc32.
This is so far the only general functionality missing.

But conversion is not finished yet - more may come.

This is on top of the memblock branch of your misc tree
