The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

To make it fast, we steal ARM's binary search for memblock_is_memory()
and we use that to also the replace existing implementation of
memblock_is_reserved().

All callers expect a boolean result which is true if the region
overlaps a reserved region. However, the implementation actually
returns -1 if there is no overlap, and a region index (0 based)
if there is.
Make it behave as callers (and common sense) expect.

via following scripts
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
-e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
mv $N $M
done
and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.
also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/
