[RFC v2 10/43] PKRAM: pass a list of preserved ranges to the next kernel

In order to build a new memblock reserved list during boot that
includes ranges preserved by the previous kernel, a list of preserved
ranges is passed to the next kernel via the pkram superblock. The
ranges are stored in ascending order in a linked list of pages. A more
complete memblock list is not prepared to avoid possible conflicts with
changes in a newer kernel and to avoid having to allocate a contiguous
range larger than a page.
