[PATCH 4/6] powerpc: Chunk calls to flush_dcache_range in arch_*_memory

[Alastair D'Silva]

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When presented with large amounts of memory being hotplugged
(in my test case, ~890GB), the call to flush_dcache_range takes
a while (~50 seconds), triggering RCU stalls.

This patch breaks up the call into 16GB chunks, calling
cond_resched() inbetween to allow the scheduler to run.
