[POWERPC] Add arch-specific walk_memory_remove() for 64-bit powerpc
walk_memory_resource() verifies if there are holes in a given memory range, by checking against /proc/iomem. On x86/ia64 system memory is represented in /proc/iomem. On powerpc, we don't show system memory as IO resource in /proc/iomem - instead it's maintained in /proc/device-tree. This provides a way for an architecture to provide its own walk_memory_resource() function. On powerpc, the memory region is small (16MB), contiguous and non-overlapping. So extra checking against the device-tree is not needed.
