[PATCH v3 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 architecture override in asm/dma.h to place the limit halfway
through the memory registered by setup_memblock(). Resolve the limit
after allocating the buffer, leaving registered memory on both sides.
