When hot-removing memory release_mem_region_adjustable() splits iomem
resources if they are not the exact size of the memory being
hot-deleted. Adding this memory back to the kernel adds a new resource.
Eg a node has memory 0x0 - 0xfffffffff. Hot-removing 1GB from
0xf40000000 results in the single resource 0x0-0xfffffffff being split
into two resources: 0x0-0xf3fffffff and 0xf80000000-0xfffffffff.
When we hot-add the memory back we now have three resources:
0x0-0xf3fffffff, 0xf40000000-0xf7fffffff, and 0xf80000000-0xfffffffff.
This is an issue if we try to remove some memory that overlaps
resources. Eg when trying to remove 2GB at address 0xf40000000,
release_mem_region_adjustable() fails as it expects the chunk of memory
to be within the boundaries of a single resource. We then get the
warning: "Unable to release resource" and attempting to use memtrace
again gives us this error: "bash: echo: write error: Resource
temporarily unavailable"
This patch makes memtrace remove memory in chunks that are always the
same size from an address that is always equal to end_of_memory -
n*size, for some n. So hotremoving and hotadding memory of different
sizes will now not attempt to remove memory that spans multiple
resources.

This patch allows the memory removed by memtrace to be readded to the
kernel. So now you don't have to reboot your system to add the memory
back to the kernel or to have a different amount of memory removed.

debugfs doesn't support mmap(), so this code is never used.

Currently memtrace doesn't build if NUMA=n:
In function ‘memtrace_alloc_node’:
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c:134:6:
error: the address of ‘contig_page_data’ will always evaluate as ‘true’
if (!NODE_DATA(nid) || !node_spanned_pages(nid))
^
This is because for NUMA=n NODE_DATA(nid) points to an always
allocated structure, contig_page_data.
But even in the NUMA=y case memtrace_alloc_node() is only called for
online nodes, and we should always have a NODE_DATA() allocated for an
online node. So remove the (hopefully) overly paranoid check, which
also means we can build when NUMA=n.

Don't do this via custom code, instead now that we have support in the
arch hotplug/hotunplug code, rely on those routines to do the right
thing.
The existing flush doesn't work because it uses ppc64_caches.l1d.size
instead of ppc64_caches.l1d.line_size.

The hardware trace macro feature requires access to a chunk of real
memory. This patch provides a debugfs interface to do this. By
writing an integer containing the size of memory to be unplugged into
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable, the code will attempt to
remove that much memory from the end of each NUMA node.
This patch also adds additional debugsfs files for each node that
allows the tracer to interact with the removed memory, as well as
a trace file that allows userspace to read the generated trace.
Note that this patch does not invoke the hardware trace macro, it
only allows memory to be removed during runtime for the trace macro
to utilise.
