[RFC PATCH 14/19] powerpc: allow ioremap within reserved fake ram regions

[Albert Herranz]

The Nintendo Wii has two discontiguous RAM memory areas called
MEM1 and MEM2.
MEM1 starts at 0x00000000 and contains 24MB of 1T-SRAM.
MEM2 starts at 0x10000000 and contains 64MB of DDR2 RAM.
Between both memory address ranges there is an address space
where memory-mapped I/O registers are found.

Currently, Linux 32-bit PowerPC does not support RAM in
discontiguous memory address spaces. Thus, in order to use
both RAM areas, we declare as RAM the range from the start of
MEM1 to the end of useable MEM2 and exclude the needed parts
with /memreserve/ statements, at the expense of wasting a bit
of memory.

As a side effect, we need to allow ioremapping RAM areas
because the I/O address space sits within the memreserve'd part
of the declared RAM region.
Note that this is not safe if the region ioremapped is covered
by an existing BAT mapping used to map RAM, so this is
specifically banned here.
