by KASLR practically immovable.

This is explaining *what* the patch does and generally doesn't need to
be in the commit messge as people can read it in the patch itself.

For this and the other occurrences of ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE,
define empty stubs for those functions in a header and remove the
ifdeffery at the call sites.

That's a strange rename.
__process_mem_region() makes more sense to me.

Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
