Robin Murphy 4ab2150615 arm64: Add memory hotplug support
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.

README

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.
