Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: allow arch override of non boot memory resource names
Memory added to the system by hotplug has a 'System RAM' resource created
for it. This is exposed to user-space via /proc/iomem.
This poses problems for kexec on arm64. If kexec decides to place the
kernel in one of these newly onlined regions, the new kernel will find
itself booting from a region not described as memory in the firmware
tables.
Arm64 doesn't have a structure like the e820 memory map that can be
re-written when memory is brought online. Instead arm64 uses the UEFI
memory map, or the memory node from the DT, sometimes both. We never
rewrite these.
Allow an architecture to specify a different name for these hotplug
regions.
