[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.
