Subject: [PATCH] of: Make the number of reserved memory regions
 configurable

Some platforms register more reserved memory regions than the current
hardcoded limit of 64.

Let's turn into a Kconfig option so we can easily tune it according to a
platform needs, while keeping the current value as a default.
