Hi Linus !
This is a simple enough fix that I decided was worth having now, it
basically allow "direct" DMA (non-iommu) to work for devices that have a
< 32-bit DMA mask (such as some infamous broadcom wireless chips) when
the machine simply has not enough memory to go over the chip addressing

Lightly tested, doesn't crash the kernel, leak reports appear
to be mostly sane.

Currently _edata does not include several data sections, this causes
the kernel's report of memory usage at boot to not match reality, and
also prevents kmemleak from working - because it scan between _sdata
and _edata for pointers to allocated memory.
This mirrors a similar change made recently t
We don't actually want kmemleak to track the lmb allocations, so we
pass min_count as 0. However telling kmemleak about lmb allocations
allows it to scan that memory for pointers to other memory that is
tracked by kmemleak, ie. slab allocations etc.

Make it possible to enable GCOV code coverage measurement on powerpc.
Lightly tested on 64-bit, seems to work as expected.
