Subject: [PATCH 0/8] memblock: introduce memsize showing reserved memory

Some of memory regions can be reserved for a specific purpose. They are
usually defined through reserved-memory in device tree. If only size
without address is specified in device tree, the address of the region
will be determined at boot time.

We may find the address of the memory regions through booting log, but
it does not show all. And it could be hard to catch the very beginning
log. The memblock_dump_all shows all memblock status but it does not
show region name and its information is difficult to summarize.

This patch introduce a debugfs node, memblock/memsize, to see reserved
memory easily.

Here's an example

$ cat debugfs/memblock/memsize
0x0f9000000-0x0fb000000 0x02000000 (   32768 KB )   map reusable linux,cma
0x0b1900000-0x0b1b00000 0x00200000 (    2048 KB ) nomap unusable test1
0x0b0200000-0x0b0400000 0x00200000 (    2048 KB )   map unusable test2
