Michal Hocko 3072e413e3 mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_pages
There are new users of memory hotplug emerging.  Some of them require
different subset of arch_add_memory.  There are some which only require
allocation of struct pages without mapping those pages to the kernel
address space.  We currently have __add_pages for that purpose.  But this
is rather lowlevel and not very suitable for the code outside of the
memory hotplug.  E.g.  x86_64 wants to update max_pfn which should be done
by the caller.  Introduce add_pages() which should care about those
details if they are needed.  Each architecture should define its
implementation and select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ADD_PAGES.  All others use the
currently existing __add_pages.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
