[1/3] add early_pfn_to_nid for ppc64

[1/3] add early_pfn_to_nid for ppc64

[Andy Whitcroft]

Provide an implementation of early_pfn_to_nid for PPC64.  This is
used by memory models to determine the node from which to take
allocations before the memory allocators are fully initialised.

Is there a reason we didn't just use pfn_to_nid() directly here instead 
of pa_to_nid()?  I'm just thinking of having DISCONTIG/NUMA off and 
pfn_to_nid() being #defined to zero for those cases.

The problem is that pfn_to_nid is defined by the memory model.  In the
SPARSEMEM case it isn't always usable until after the we have
initialised and allocated the sparse mem_maps.  It is allocations during
this phase that need this early_pfn_to_nid() form, to guide its
allocations of the mem_map to obtain locality with the physical memory
blocks.

This is clearer in the i386 port where the early_pfn_to_nid()
implementation uses low level table to determine the location.  As has
been mentioned in another thread, we are using what is effectivly a
DISCONTIGMEM data structure here.  I have some work in progress to split
that last part and move to a true early implementation on ppc64 too.
