[Devel] [PATCH RFC 07/13] mm: PRAM: preserve persistent memory at boot

Persistent memory preservation is done by reserving memory pages
belonging to PRAM at early boot so that they will not be recycled. If
memory reservation fails for some reason (e.g. memory region is busy),
persistent memory will be lost.
Currently, PRAM preservation is only implemented for x86.
