[GIT PULL 06/18] memory-device: Support memory devices with multiple memslots

[David Hildenbrand]

We want to support memory devices that have a memory region container as
device memory region that maps multiple RAM memory regions. Let's start
by supporting memory devices that statically map multiple RAM memory
regions and, thereby, consume multiple memslots.

We already have one device that uses a container as device memory region:
NVDIMMs. However, a NVDIMM always ends up consuming exactly one memslot.

Let's add support for that by asking the memory device via a new
callback how many memslots it requires.
