Subject: [RFC v3 16/21] PKRAM: provide a way to check if a memory range has preserved pages

When a kernel is loaded for kexec the address ranges where the kexec
segments will be copied to may conflict with pages already set to be
preserved. Provide a way to determine if preserved pages exist in a
specified range.
