H A Dspapr.c6010818c Wed Jul 02 22:10:05 CDT 2014 Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru> spapr: Split memory nodes to power-of-two blocks

Linux kernel expects nodes to have power-of-two size and
does WARN_ON if this is not the case:
[ 0.041456] WARNING: at drivers/base/memory.c:115
which is:

===
/* Validate blk_sz is a power of 2 and not less than section size */
if ((block_sz & (block_sz - 1)) || (block_sz < MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE)) {
WARN_ON(1);
block_sz = MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE;
}
===

This splits memory nodes into set of smaller blocks with
a size which is a power of two. This makes sure the start
address of every node is aligned to the node size.
