Undoubtedly, A hex is the best way to represent a physical address. If we use
memparse function, we can use the much simpler way to represent an address,
it is not the offical way, but it takes many conveniences if we just want to
to some simple test.
When we reserce memory, we use mempasre to parse the mem=XXX parameter, we can
avoid the complicated translation when we add memory thru the add_memory interface,
how about still use the memparse here? but remove it from the document since it is
just for some simple testing.

For memoryless nodes, it will cause OOM issue on old kernel version, but now
memoryless node is already supported, and the test result matches it well. The
emulator is a tool to reproduce the OOM issue in eraly kernel.

I will add error handling code for it.
