This series adds bounds checks for hotplugged memory, ensuring that
it is within the physically addressable range (for platforms that
define MAX_(POSSIBLE_)PHYSMEM_BITS.

This allows for early failure, rather than attempting to access
bogus section numbers.

Changelog:
 V7:
   - Cast PFN_PHYS as u64 since it's type is platform dependant
 V6:
   - Fix printf formats
 V5:
   - Factor out calculation into max_allowed var
   - Declare unchanging vars as const
   - Use PFN_PHYS macro instead of shifting by PAGE_SHIFT
 V4:
   - Relocate call to __add_pages
   - Add a warning when the addressable check fails
 V3:
   - Perform the addressable check before we take the hotplug lock
 V2:
   - Don't use MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS as it's wider that what
     may be available
