[PATCH 5/8] Add notifiers for memory hot add/remove

Thu Jul 25 04:41:11 EST 2013


In order to allow architectures or other subsystems to do any needed
work prior to hot adding or hot removing memory the memory notifier
chain should be updated to provide notifications of these events.

This patch adds the notifications for memory hot add and hot remove.
