[RFC patch] powerpc: Add topology_ready to machdep calls

Add a new member topology_ready to the powerpc machdep_calls
structure.

The NUMA hot plug memory routines require the NUMA node to have
been registered via register_one_node() prior to adding memory
to the node.  The powerpc arch registers NUMA nodes during
startup in its topology_init() routine.

Currently, there is no mechanism for the platform code to know
when the nodes have been registered, and hence, when it is safe
to add hot plug memory.
