[PATCH 3/3] ppc64-specific memory notifier support

Hotplug memory notifier for ppc64. This gets invoked by writing
the device-node that needs to be removed to /proc/ppc64/ofdt.
We need to adjust the sections and remove sysfs entries by
calling __remove_pages(). Then call arch specific code to
get rid of htab mappings for the section of memory.
