[PATCH 10/10] mm: Create memory regions at boot-up

[Ankita Garg]

Memory regions are created at boot up time, from the information obtained
from the firmware. This patchset was developed on ARM platform, on which at
present u-boot bootloader does not export information about memory units that
can be independently power managed. For the purpose of demonstration, 2 hard
coded memory regions are created, of 256MB each on the Panda board with 512MB
RAM.
