Indexed-count memory management allows addition and removal of contiguous
lmb blocks with a single command. When compared to the series of calls
previously required to manage contiguous blocks, indexed-count decreases
command frequency and reduces risk of buffer overflow.

Changes in v2:
--------------
-[PATCH 1/2]:   -remove potential memory leak when parsing command
                -use u32s drc_index and count instead of u32 ic[]
                 in dlpar_memory
-[PATCH 2/2]:   -use u32s drc_index and count instead of u32 ic[]
                 in dlpar_memory

Changes in v3:
--------------
-[PATCH 1/2]:   -add logic to handle invalid drc_index input
                -update indexed-count trigger to follow naming convention
                -update dlpar_memory to follow kernel if-else style
-[PATCH 2/2]:   -add logic to handle invalid drc_index input
