Hotplug memory sources may have opinions on what the memblock size
should be - usually for alignment purposes. For example, CXL memory
extents can be 256MB with a matching alignment. If this size/alignment
is smaller than the block size, it can result in stranded capacity.
Implement memory_block_advise_max_size for use prior to allocator init,
for software to advise the system on the max block size.
Implement memory_block_probe_max_size for use by arch init code to
calculate the best block size. Use of advice is architecture defined.
The probe value can never change after first probe. Calls to advise
after probe will return -EBUSY to aid debugging.
On systems without hotplug, always return -ENODEV and 0 respectively.
