In preparation to allowing the trace ring buffer to be allocated in a range of memory that is persistent across reboots, add ring_buffer_alloc_range(). It takes a contiguous range of memory and will split it up evenly for the per CPU ring buffers. If there's not enough memory to handle all CPUs with the minimum size, it will fail to allocate the ring buffer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
