The current LMB API's for allocating and reserving memory use a
per-caller based memory view. Memory allocated by a caller can then be
overwritten by another caller. Make these allocations and reservations
persistent using the alloced list data structure.

Two alloced lists are declared -- one for the available(free) memory,
and one for the used memory. Once full, the list can then be extended
at runtime.

Changes since V3:
* Fix checkpatch warnings of spaces between function name and
   open parantheses.
* s/uint64_t/u64 as suggested by checkpatch.

In fs the reserved region is not being freed after read, while
other loaders free them (cmd/load.c), this patch uncovers the issue
since now other loaders cannot use the same memory location for load.
For example now someone cannot do:

mmc load .. $loadaddr ...
<do something with above contents>
tftp $loadaddr ..

where this worked previously since it was not global, I have sent a
fix for this :
