Subject: [RESEND PATCH 00/10] 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
