[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions
This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.
Individual architecture patches will follow.
For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled. There's a lot of
churn there right now. We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.
