[PATCH: 001/017](RFC) Memory hotplug for new nodes v.3. (Generic code of pgdat alloc)

From: Yasunori Goto
Date: Wed Mar 08 2006 - 08:39:07 EST


This patch adds node-hot-add support to add_memory().

node hotadd uses this sequence.
1. allocate pgdat.
2. refresh NODE_DATA()
3. call free_area_init_node() to initialize
4. create sysfs entry
5. add memory (old add_memory())
6. set node online
7. run kswapd for new node.
(8). update zonelist after pages are onlined. (This is in other patch due to
update phase is difference.)

Note:
To make common function as much as possible,
there is 2 changes from v2.
- The old add_memory(), which is defiend by each archs,
is renamed to arch_add_memory(). New add_memory becomes
caller of arch dependent function as a common code.

- This patch changes add_memory()'s interface
From: add_memory(start, end)
TO : add_memory(nid, start, end).
It was cause of similar code that finding node id from
physical address is inside of old add_memory() on each arch.

In addition, acpi memory hotplug driver can find node id easier.
In v2, it must walk DSDT'S _CRS by matching physical address to
get the handle of its memory device, then get _PXM and node id.
Because input is just physical address.
However, in v3, the acpi driver can use handle to get _PXM and node id
for the new memory device. It can pass just node id to add_memory().


Fix interface of arch_add_memory() is in next patche.
