On a long cardrive today I was wondering: do we still need a separate
MEMORY_HOTREMOVE

Now we'll have

config MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
	bool "Allow for memory hot remove"
	select HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE if (X86_64 || PPC64)
	depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
	select MIGRATION

I'll try to get rid of that HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE shite next.

Then it's really just MIGRATION and some sprinkled
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. Not a lot of code.
