Hi Andrew & Paul,

Here are the updates for hotplug memory remove. Most changes are
PPC specific, but I would like these to be included in next -mm
for easy testing and review, before including in Paul's tree.

eHEA driver folks are verifying if the exported interface
walk_memory_resource() is good enough for their needs. And also,
we are verifying the code on x86_64. Once that is done, we may
be able to cleanup some of the code (make remove_memory() arch
generic).

[PATCH 1/5] generic __remove_pages() support
[PATCH 2/5] [PPC] htab_remove_mapping() error handling
[PATCH 3/5] [PPC] hotplug memory notifications for ppc
[PATCH 4/5] [PPC] update lmb for hotplug memory add/remove
[PATCH 5/5] [PPC] provide walk_memory_resource() for ppc

Testing: All the patches are tested on p-series LPAR configuration,
writing to /sysfs & /proc, through DLPAR tools and through HMC.
Testing on x86_64 needs more work.

Thanks,
Badari

We still have an issue with not being able to free up the allocations
that came from bootmem. Yasunori Goto wants to clean up that code.
