arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmzone.h has the declaration or #define, and
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c has the definiton when not defined.   All have
memblock_end_of_DRAM() as the minimum value, so it will never be 0.

(The usage is to get the number of bits needed to cover all possible
memory that could be allocated to the OS to size the iommu table).
