[PATCH] [RFC] pmem: add pmem support codes on ARM64

The PMEM driver on top of NVDIMM(Non-Volatile DIMM) has already been
supported on X86_64 and there exist several ARM64 platforms which support
DIMM type memories.

This patch set enables the PMEM driver on ARM64 (AArch64) architecture
on top of NVDIMM. While developing this patch set, QEMU 2.6.50 with NVDIMM
emulation for ARM64 has also been developed and tested on it.
