RE: [PATCH-RESEND v4] memory-hotplug: create /sys/firmware/memmapentry for new memory

[Zheng, Shaohui]

Resend the v6 memmap patch after resolve the early exception. This patch was tested 
on DELL Studio XPS(Core i7), I will always be careful to valid each patch before 
sending it out.


memory-hotplug: create /sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory

A memmap is a directory in sysfs which includes 3 text files: start, end and
 type. For example:
start: 	0x100000
end:	0x7e7b1cff
type:	System RAM

Interface firmware_map_add was not called explicitly. Remove it and add function
 firmware_map_add_hotplug as hotplug interface of memmap.  

Each memory entry has a memmap in sysfs, When we hot-add new memory, sysfs does
not export memmap entry for it. We add a call in function add_memory to function
 firmware_map_add_hotplug.

Add a new function add_sysfs_fw_map_entry() to create memmap entry, it will be
called when initialize memmap and hot-add memory.
