3/5 in this series fixes long-standing bug and multiple versions of it
has been posted outside of this series earlier.
4/5 fixes a memory leak.
I included the above tow in this series because with the patches to
explicitly mark the hotplugged memory (1/5 and 2/5), reproducing the bug
fixed by 3/5 becomes easier.
Hence 3/5 and 4/5 can be considered as standalone fixes too.

Bharata.
