[PATCH 1/3] Add remove_memory() for ppc64

[Badari Pulavarty]

Supply arch specific remove_memory() for PPC64. There is nothing
ppc specific code here and its exactly same as ia64 version. 
For now, lets keep it arch specific - so each arch can add
its own special things if needed.

Did someone go and copy the ia64 verion?  Tsk.  Tsk.  Bad Badari.  :)

Can we just make this a weak symbol in the generic mm/memory_hotplug.c?
Or, make this the generic memory_remove() function int there and have an
arch_remove_memory() hook called from there if the architectures need to
tweak it?

Well, We don't need arch-specific remove_memory() for ia64 and ppc64.
x86_64, I don't know. We will know, only when some one does the
verification. I don't need arch_remove_memory() hook also at this time.

KAME and I agreed that, we will kill all this if no arch needs it (after
verifying it with x86/x86-64). No point adding all the infrastructure,
if no one needs it at the end.

Thanks,
Badari

I wasn't being very clear.  I say, add the arch hook only if you need
it.  But, for now, just take the ia64 code and make it generic.

remove_memory() has been arch-specific since there was no piece of unplug
code. And I didn't merge it to be generic when I implemented ia64 ver.

Hmm...I have no objection to merge them. But let's see how memory hotremove
for ppc64 works for a while. We can merge them later.

I'm glad to have new testers :)

BTW, we do have generic remove_memory() which returns -EINVAL, if
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_MEMORY_REMOVE is not set to cover all the arch
that doesn't support it.

Like I mentioned, nothing. When KAME did the hotplug memory
remove, he kept this remove_memory() arch-specific - so
each arch can provide its own, if it needs to something
special. So far, there is no need for arch-specific 
remove_memory(). If other archs (x86-64 and others)
agree we can merge this into arch neutral code.

I have to provide this for ppc64 to plug into general
frame work.

Badari

You've added it to arch/powerpc for both PPC32 and PPC64, so your
commit description is misleading.
