[PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc/drmem: accelerate memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() with LMB xarray

On PowerPC, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() uses a linear search to find
an LMB matching the given address. This scales very poorly when there
are many LMBs. The poor scaling cripples drmem_init() during boot:
lmb_set_nid(), which calls memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), is called for
each LMB.
If we index each LMB in an xarray by its base address we can achieve
O(log n) search during memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), which scales much
better.
For example, in the lab we have a 64TB P9 machine with 256MB LMBs.
So, suring drmem_init() we instantiate 249854 LMBs. On a vanilla
kernel it completes drmem_init() in ~35 seconds with a soft lockup
trace. On the patched kernel it completes drmem_init() in ~0.5
seconds.

lmb_set_nid() is called from dlpar_lmb_add() so this patch will also
improve memory hot-add speeds on big machines.
