[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Allow memory that has been hot-removed to be hot-added

This patch allows the memory removed by memtrace to be readded to the
kernel. So now you don't have to reboot your system to add the memory
back to the kernel or to have a different amount of memory removed.

To remove 1GB from each node:
echo 1073741824  >  /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable

To add this memory back and remove 2GB:
echo 2147483648 >  /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable 

To just re-add memory:
echo 0  >  /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable
