Add support for NUMA on ARM64. Tested successfully running a guest
Linux kernel with the following patch applied:

- arm64:numa: adding numa support for arm64 platforms.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg365316.html

Changes v1 ... v2:
Take into account Peter's comments:
* rename virt_memory_init to arm_generate_memory_dtb
* move arm_generate_memory_dtb to boot.c and make it a common func
* use a struct numa_map to generate numa dtb

Example qemu command line:
qemu-system-aarch64 \
    -enable-kvm -smp 4\
    -kernel Image \
    -m 512 -machine virt,kernel_irqchip=on \
    -initrd guestfs.cpio.gz \
    -cpu host -nographic \
    -numa node,mem=256M,cpus=0-1,nodeid=0 \
    -numa node,mem=256M,cpus=2-3,nodeid=1 \
    -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/ram"

Todo:
1)The NUMA nodes information in DT is not finalized yet, so this
patch might need to be further modified to follow any changes in it.

2)Consider IO-NUMA as well

Please refer to the following url for NUMA DT node details:

- Documentation: arm64/arm: dt bindings for numa.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg380200.html

Example: 2 Node system each having 2 CPUs and a Memory

        numa-map {
                #address-cells = <2>;
                #size-cells = <1>;
                #node-count = <2>;
                mem-map =  <0x0 0x40000000 0>,
                           <0x0 0x50000000 1>;

                cpu-map = <0 1 0>,
                          <2 3 1>;

                node-matrix = <0 0 10>,
                              <0 1 20>,
                              <1 0 20>,
                              <1 1 10>;
        };

- mem-map:      This property defines the association between a range of
                memory and the proximity domain/numa node to which it belongs.

- cpu-map:      This property defines the association of range of processors
                (range of cpu ids) and the proximity domain to which
                the processor belongs.

- node-matrix:  This table provides a matrix that describes the relative
                distance (memory latency) between all System Localities.
                The value of each Entry[i j distance] in node-matrix table,
                where i represents a row of a matrix and j represents a
                column of a matrix, indicates the relative distances
                from Proximity Domain/Numa node i to every other
                node j in the system (including itself).
