[PATCH v3 0/2] memory-hotplug: introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform not support

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 to empty as they were before.

It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named
CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected by
memory-hotplug supported archs(currently only on x86_64).

changeLog v2->v3:
1) patch 1/2:
- Rename the patch title to conform it's content.
- Update memory_hotplug.h and remove the misleading TODO pointed out by Michal.
2) patch 2/2:
- New added, remove unimplemented functions suggested by Michal.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
1) patch 1/2:
