[PATCH 1/6] powerpc/mm/32: Use pfn_valid to check if pointer is in RAM

The Nintendo Wii has a memory layout that places two chunks of RAM at
non-adjacent addresses, and MMIO between them. Currently, the allocation
of these MMIO areas is made possible by declaring the MMIO hole as
reserved memory and allowing reserved memory to be allocated (cf.
wii_memory_fixups).

This patch is the first step towards proper support for discontiguous
memory on PPC32 by using pfn_valid to check if a pointer points into
RAM, rather than open-coding the check. It should result in no
functional difference.
