[PATCH 5/8] Add notifiers for memory hot add/remove

From: Nathan Fontenot
Date: Wed Jul 24 2013 - 14:41:27 EST


In order to allow architectures or other subsystems to do any needed
work prior to hot adding or hot removing memory the memory notifier
chain should be updated to provide notifications of these events.

This patch adds the notifications for memory hot add and hot remove.
