AFAICS this code was added in commit 5f97b2a0d176 ("powerpc/pseries:
Implement memory hotplug add in the kernel").

So this should probably be marked:

  Fixes: 5f97b2a0d176 ("powerpc/pseries: Implement memory hotplug add in the kernel")

And it seems like a bug we'd want fixed in stable, so:

  Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v4.1+


Am I right?
