memory_accessor: new interface for reading/writing persistent memory



Add an interface by which other kernel code can read/write persistent
memory such as I2C or SPI EEPROMs, or devices which provide NVRAM.  Use
cases include storage of board-specific configuration data like Ethernet
addresses and sensor calibrations.

Original idea, review and improvement suggestions by David Brownell.
