[PATCH 20/31] memblock: Add arch function to control coalescing of memblock memory regions

[Yinghai Lu]

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some archs such as ARM want to avoid coalescing accross things such
as the lowmem/highmem boundary or similar. This provides the option
to control it via an arch callback for which a weak default is provided
which always allows coalescing.
