Ability to force the physical location of a kmalloc for testing purposes

We are trying to test some IO DMA code and want to make sure the
physical address is in a given range for testing. For example on
PPC32 w/have 36-bit physical and some of IO devices are capable of
DMAing to the full 36-bit address. However we want to test things
like making sure a physical address >4G works properly.
