x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type

Various recent BIOSes support NVDIMMs or ADR using a
non-standard e820 memory type, and Intel supplied reference
Linux code using this type to various vendors.

Wire this e820 table type up to export platform devices for the
pmem driver so that we can use it in Linux.

Based on earlier work from:

   Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com>
   Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Includes fixes for NUMA regions from Boaz Harrosh.
