Ian: I made that change, and slightly modified your commit message.
Look ok?

[PATCH] Fix crash due to processing "memory-controller" nodes as "memory"

If the system has a PCI device with a memory-controller device node,
kexec-lite would spew hundreds of double free warnings and eventually
segfault. This would result in a "kexec load failed" message from
petitboot.

This was due to kexec_memory_map() searching for "memory" nodes, but
actually matching any node that started with "memory", including these
"memory-controller" nodes. This patch changes the search to look for
nodes with a device_type of "memory", which should only match memory
nodes.

An example of a device tree that can trigger this bug is as follows:

{
	pciex at 3fffe40000000 {
		...
		pci at 0 {
			#address-cells = <0x3>;
			#size-cells = <0x2>;
			...
			memory-controller at 0 {
				reg = <0x10000 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
				...
			};
		};
	};
};
