Hi every one,

Rather than requiring platforms to select the generic clock API to make
it available make the API available as a user selectable option unless the
user either selects HAVE_CUSTOM_CLK (if they have their own implementation)
or selects COMMON_CLK (if they depend on the generic implementation).

We should offline and remove memory when removing the memory device.
The memory device can be removed by 2 ways:
1. send eject request by SCI
2. echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/devices/PNP0C80:XX/eject
In the 1st case, acpi_memory_disable_device() will be called. In the 2nd

The function offline_memory() will be called when hot removing a

block. If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages()
will fail. So we should try to offline one memory block at a
time.

We don't call __add_pages() directly in the function add_memory()
because some other architecture related things need to be done
before or after calling __add_pages(). So we should introduce

done in arch_add_memory().

All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed, since some pages
used as PGD/PUD includes not only removed memory but also other memory. So the
patch checks whether page can be freed or not.

For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem,
memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by get_page_bootmem().
So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and registers the pages by
get_page_bootmem().

When a memory is added, we update zone's and pgdat's start_pfn and spanned_pages

This patch series aims to support physical memory hot-remove.

The patch adds __remove_pages() to remove_memory(). Then the range of
phys_start_pfn argument and nr_pages argument in __remove_pagse() may
have different zone. So zone argument is removed from __remove_pages()
and __remove_pages() caluculates zone in each section.
