[PATCH 7/8] auto bind the memory device which is hotpluged beforethe driver is loaded

[Wen Congyang]

If the memory device is hotpluged before the driver is loaded, the
user cannot see this device under the directory /sys/bus/acpi/devices/,
and the user cannot bind it by hand after the driver is loaded.
This patch introduces a new feature to bind such device when is driver
is being loaded.
