Wire up the basic support for hot-adding memory. Since memory hotplug is fairly tightly coupled to sparsemem, we tweak pfn_valid() to also cross-check the presence of a section in the manner of the generic implementation, before falling back to memblock to check for no-map regions within a present section as before. By having arch_add_memory(() create the linear mapping first, this then makes everything work in the way that __add_section() expects. We expect hotplug to be ACPI-driven, so the swapper_pg_dir updates should be safe from races by virtue of the global device hotplug lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
