Add support for setting linux,usable-memory property in the memory
node of device tree for the kernel [1].

This property holds a base address and size, describing a
limited region in which memory may be considered available for use by
the kernel. Memory outside of this range is not available for use.

Isn't this same/similar to fdt_add_mem_rsv() ?

I would say they are opposite :)
- linux,usable-memory property let the kernel be aware about all the
memory he can use.
- memreserve - what memory to exclude.

I think both should be helpful.
