Hi,

Following the discussion about handling of CXL fixed memory windows on
arm64 [1] I decided to bite the bullet and move numa_memblks from x86 to
the generic code so they will be available on arm64/riscv and maybe on
loongarch sometime later.

While it could be possible to use memblock to describe CXL memory windows,
it currently lacks notion of unpopulated memory ranges and numa_memblks
does implement this.

Another reason to make numa_memblks generic is that both arch_numa (arm64
and riscv) and loongarch use trimmed copy of x86 code although there is no
fundamental reason why the same code cannot be used on all these platforms.
Having numa_memblks in mm/ will make it's interaction with ACPI and FDT
more consistent and I believe will reduce maintenance burden.

And with generic numa_memblks it is (almost) straightforward to enable NUMA
emulation on arm64 and riscv.

Tested-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> #arm64 + CXL via QEMU
With that one fix in patch 7.

Feel free to figure out which patches actually got tested by that
(or tag them all - I'll pretend I tested ip27 :)
