x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment vmemmap_populate()

In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory
capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for
allocating memory for the memmap array.  The default vmemmap_populate()
allocates page table storage area from the page allocator.  Given
persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to
store the memmap in 'System Memory'.  Instead vmem_altmap represents
pre-allocated "device pages" to satisfy vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()
requests.
