My usecase is testing out the kernel on Hyper-V before loading it on
real i686 machine. Hyper-V machine is faster to skim out other bugs.
So memory hot-add is not a must requirement for me,
but having hot-add may be handy to see the application memory requirement.
(as in the anaconda test revealed)

If we're disabling it, we have to announce it somewhere;
where is appropriate? `modinfo hv_balloon`'s "hot_add" description?
