[POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Use sysfs to release reserved mem
Check to see if there actually is data from a previously
crashed kernel waiting. If so, allow user-space tools to
grab the data (by reading /proc/kcore). When user-space
finishes dumping a section, it must release that memory
by writing to sysfs. For example,
echo "0x40000000 0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/release_region
will release 256MB starting at the 1GB. The released memory
becomes free for general use.
