[PATCH] sparsemem hotplug base
Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime. This allows sparse
mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation.
This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how
much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory.
The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer. It stores something that
is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to
just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer.
There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all,
the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be
such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you
properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe.
Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the
bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's
really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid
section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes
there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we
can get the mem_map for it.
