Introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers to
prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state. This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on
memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.
Platforms such as x86 can support physical memory hotplug via ACPI. When
there is physical memory hotplug, ACPI event leads to the memory
addition with the following callchain:
acpi_memory_device_add()
-> acpi_memory_enable_device()
-> __add_memory()
After this, the hotplugged memory is physically accessible, and altmap
support prepared, before the "memmap on memory" initialization in
memory_block_online() is called.
On s390, memory hotplug works in a different way. The available hotplug
memory has to be defined upfront in the hypervisor, but it is made
physically accessible only when the user sets it online via sysfs,
currently in the MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier. This is too late and "memmap
on memory" initialization is performed before calling MEM_GOING_ONLINE
notifier.
During the memory hotplug addition phase, altmap support is prepared
(but not yet accessed) and during the memory onlining phase s390
requires memory to be physically accessible and then subsequently
initiate the "memmap on memory" initialization process.
The new MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE notifier allows to work around the problem,
by providing a hook to prepare the memory and make it physically
accessible. Similarly, the MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifier allows to make
the memory physically inaccessible at the end of memory_block_offline().
All architectures ignore unknown memory notifiers, so this patch should
not introduce any functional changes.
