Add repository helper routines to read highmem region info.
Bootloaders that preallocate highmem regions must place the
region info into the repository at these well known nodes.
These routines allow second stage kernles to read the region
info from those nodes.

regions can be used to hold the
initrd or other large data. If no region info exists, the
kernel retains the old behavior and attempts to allocate the
highmem region itself.
Based on Hector Martin's patch "Get lv1 high memory region from
devtree".

The driver implements a character and misc device, meant for the
axed OtherOS to exchange various settings with GameOS.
Since Firmware 3.21 there is no support anymore to write these
settings, so test if we're running in OtherOS, and refuse to load
if that is not the case.

Real mode memory can be limited and runs out quickly as memory is
allocated during kernel startup.
Having region1 available sooner fixes this.

An earlier step in the boot chain can preallocate the highmem region.
A boot loader doing so will place the region infos in the repository.

I believe lv1 limits it to 8? I might be mistaken here, it mostly is a

of region flags is provided - overwritable via a module param array.
