[RFC 01/18] pkernfs: Introduce filesystem skeleton

Add an in-memory filesystem: pkernfs. Memory is donated to pkernfs by
carving it out of the normal System RAM range with the memmap= cmdline
parameter and then giving that same physical range to pkernfs with the
pkernfs= cmdline parameter.
A new filesystem is added; so far it doesn't do much except persist a
super block at the start of the donated memory and allows itself to be
mounted.

+ help
+ An in-memory filesystem on top of reserved memory specified via
+ pkernfs= cmdline argument. Used for storing kernel state and
+ userspace memory which is preserved across kexec to support
