[PATCH] powerpc: Track backing pages used allocated by vmemmap_populate()

[Mark Nelson]

We need to keep track of the backing pages that get allocated by
vmemmap_populate() so that when we use kdump, the dump-capture kernel can
find these pages in memory.

We use a linked list of structures that contain the physical address of the
backing page and corresponding virtual address to track the backing pages.
And we use a simple spinlock to protect the vmemmap_list.
