Subject: [PATCH 1/3] memblock: define functions to set the usable memory range

Some architectures might limit the usable memory range based
on a firmware property, like "linux,usable-memory-range"
for ARM crash kernels. This limit needs to be enforced after
firmware memory map processing has been done, which might be
e.g. FDT or EFI, or both.

Define an interface for it that is firmware type agnostic.
