Yes, but there is a prototype mismatch for arch_remove_memory() on s390
and also other architectures (u64 vs. unsigned long).

arch/s390/mm/init.c:262: error: conflicting types for
‘arch_remove_memory’ include/linux/memory_hotplug.h:88: error: previous
declaration of ‘arch_remove_memory’ was here

In memory_hotplug.h you have:
extern int arch_remove_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);

On all archs other than x86 you have:
int arch_remove_memory(u64 start, u64 size)
