Bharata B Rao d0e5a8f293 spapr: Ensure all LMBs are represented in ibm,dynamic-memory
Memory hotplug can fail for some combinations of RAM and maxmem when
DDW is enabled in the presence of devices like nec-usb-xhci. DDW depends
on maximum addressable memory returned by guest and this value is currently
being calculated wrongly by the guest kernel routine memory_hotplug_max().
While there is an attempt to fix the guest kernel, this patch works
around the problem within QEMU itself.

memory_hotplug_max() routine in the guest kernel arrives at max
addressable memory by multiplying lmb-size with the lmb-count obtained
from ibm,dynamic-memory property. There are two assumptions here:

- All LMBs are part of ibm,dynamic memory: This is not true for PowerKVM
  where only hot-pluggable LMBs are present in this property.
- The memory area comprising of RAM and hotplug region is contiguous: This
  needn't be true always for PowerKVM as there can be gap between
  boot time RAM and hotplug region.

To work around this guest kernel bug, ensure that ibm,dynamic-memory
has information about all the LMBs (RMA, boot-time LMBs, future
hotpluggable LMBs, and dummy LMBs to cover the gap between RAM and
hotpluggable region).

RMA is represented separately by memory@0 node. Hence mark RMA LMBs
and also the LMBs for the gap b/n RAM and hotpluggable region as
reserved and as having no valid DRC so that these LMBs are not considered
by the guest.
