As OFMEM memory ranges don't provide an explicit upper limit, we must manually check that CIF claim calls lie within a valid maxmimum range if attempting to allocate a specific address. Since the claim method provides a 1:1 mapping between physical and virtual addresses, the valid maximum address is therefore equivalent to the machine RAM size.

This fixes booting yaboot 1.3.17 which implements a top-down search using claim to find the next free memory region to locate its heap. Without this fix we blindly accept a claim for physical addresses far above the available RAM which fails silently when we try to use the mapping later.
