This adds support to for mapping disks images using persistent
memory. Disks can be added by setting this ENV variable:
PMEM_DISK="/mydisks/disk1.img,/mydisks/disk2.img"
These will show up in Linux as /dev/pmem0 and /dev/pmem1.
This uses a new feature in mambo "mysim memory mmap .." which is only
available since mambo commit 0131f0fc08 (from 24/4/2018).
This also needs the of_pmem.c driver in Linux which is only available
since v4.17. It works with powernv_defconfig + CONFIG_OF_PMEM. ie
