A change was made to walk_memory_resource() in commit
4b119e21d0c66c22e8ca03df05d9de623d0eb50f that added a
check of find_lmb(). Add the coresponding lmb_add()
call to ps3_mm_add_memory() so that that check will
succeed.
This fixes the condition where the PS3 boots up with
only the 128 MiB of boot memory.

Hi Paul,
Could you please merge this one in for 2.6.26. Without it the
system boots with just 128 of the total 256 MiB of memory.
There is the concurrency problem as Ben commented on, but I
think not having the 128 MiB of memory is worse than having the
potential race, which we can work on as a separate fix.
