[PATCH] memory-hotplug: revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() to empty when platform related code is not implemented

[PATCH] memory-hotplug: revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() to empty when platform related code is not implemented

[Lin Feng]

Memory-hotplug codes for x86_64 have been implemented by patchset:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/9/124
While other platforms haven't been completely implemented yet.

If we enable both CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
register_page_bootmem_info_node() may be buggy, which is a hotplug generic
function but falling back to call platform related function
register_page_bootmem_memmap().

Other platforms such as powerpc it's not implemented, so on such platforms,
revert them as empty as they were before.

This is just ugly. Could you please add something like HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE
or something with a bettern name and let CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG select it
for supported architectures and configurations (e.g.
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP doesn't need a special arch support, right?).
These Todo things are just too messy.

Hi Michal,

I have updated to V2 version according to what you said, would you please take a look 
if it conforms to what you think? 

thanks,
