[PATCH 1/2] memblock tests: model the low allocation limit within dummy memory

[Tianyi Chen]

The simulator represents physical addresses using the address of its
allocated buffer. That buffer can lie above the default
ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, preventing meaningful memblock_alloc_low()
tests.

Use the existing architecture override in asm/dma.h to place the limit
halfway through the dummy memory buffer. Resolve it after the buffer
has been allocated, so both low and high memory can be represented
regardless of its address. The production allocator is unchanged.
