[PATCH 09/15] lib: provide stub Linux "generic" allocator API

We may want to port the whole of the Linux generic allocator
implementation in future as it would come in handy in drivers that need
special memory for DMA. For now, support just the use case of the
incoming Atmel NAND driver, which is mapping the whole of a mmio-sram.
