[POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Tracking memory range freed
This tracks the size freed. For now it does a simple rudimentary calculation of the ranges freed. The idea is to keep it simple at the external shell script level and send in large chunks for now. Signed-off-by: Manish Ahuja <mahuja@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
