[PATCH] powerpc: Perform a bounds check in arch_add_memory

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair at d-silva.org>

It is possible for firmware to allocate memory ranges outside
the range of physical memory that we support (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS).

This patch adds a bounds check to ensure that any hotplugged
memory is addressable.
