Hello.

These are parts of patches for new nodes addition v4.
When new node is added, new pgdat is allocated and initialized by this patch.
These includes...
- specify node id at add_memory().
- start kswapd for new node.
- allocate pgdat and register its address to node_data[].

This set includes node_data[] updater for generic arch.
Ia64 has copies of node_data[] on each node.
But, this patch set doesn't include patches to update them.
I'll post them later.

This patch is for 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.

Please apply.

------------------------------------------------------------

Change log from v4 of node hot-add.
- generic pgdat allocation is picked up.
- update for 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.

V4 of post is here.
