[PATCH] x86: efi vendor_reserved memory type

[Cliff Wickman]

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx>

Add an EFI_VENDOR_RESERVED memory type.
This supports memory available only to special devices. Such memory will
not be used as general RAM by the OS.

And add a method for a device driver to locate that memory. The walk()
function scans the EFI memory map and does a callback to a specified
function for each memory area of a specified type.
efi_memmap_walk_vr() is made available for a module to scan for
type EFI_VENDOR_RESERVED.

A UV driver will be posted later that will use these routines.

Diffed against 2.6.27-rc1-mm1-dirty
