[POWERPC] Fake NUMA emulation for PowerPC

Here's a dumb simple implementation of fake NUMA nodes for PowerPC.
Fake NUMA nodes can be specified using the following command line option

numa=fake=<node range>

node range is of the format <range1>,<range2>,...<rangeN>

Each of the rangeX parameters is passed using memparse().  I find this
useful for fake NUMA emulation on my simple PowerPC machine.  I've
tested it on a non-numa box with the following arguments:

numa=fake=1G
numa=fake=1G,2G
name=fake=1G,512M,2G
numa=fake=1500M,2800M mem=3500M
numa=fake=1G mem=512M
numa=fake=1G mem=1G
