A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified
NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails.
The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the
allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer
'this_nid'.
It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start',
and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory
assosciated with 'nid' ends.
This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just
about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might
not be working yet.
This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also
it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted
"careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c
If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers,
it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

Convert the lmb code to use u64 instead of unsigned long for physical
addresses and sizes. This is needed to support large amounts of RAM
on 32-bit systems that support 36-bit physical addressing.
