[RFC v2 36/43] PKRAM: add support for loading pages in bulk

[Anthony Yznaga]

Implement a new API function, pkram_load_file_pages(), to support
loading pages in bulk.  A caller provided buffer not smaller than
PKRAM_PAGES_BUFSIZE is populated with pages pointers that are contiguous
by their original mapping index values.  The number of pages in the buffer
and the mapping index of the first page are provided to the caller.
