[POWERPC] Change rheap functions to use ulongs instead of pointers
The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
the allocation functions.
This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is
a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can
use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.
All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros
IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().
Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().
