This introduces the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP attribute and the required plumbing
to make it usable as an indicator that some parts of normal memory
should not be covered by the kernel direct mapping. It is up to the
arch to actually honor the attribute when laying out this mapping,
but the memblock code itself is modified to disregard these regions
for allocations and other general use.

The main difference is that memblock_is_memory() still returns true
for the region. This is useful in some cases, e.g., to decide which
attributes to use when mapping.

Indeed, as is implemented by 10/12
