    riscv: mm: Add memory hotplugging support · c75a74f4
    Björn Töpel authored
    For an architecture to support memory hotplugging, a couple of
    callbacks needs to be implemented:
    
     arch_add_memory()
      This callback is responsible for adding the physical memory into the
      direct map, and call into the memory hotplugging generic code via
      __add_pages() that adds the corresponding struct page entries, and
      updates the vmemmap mapping.
    
     arch_remove_memory()
      This is the inverse of the callback above.
    
     vmemmap_free()
      This function tears down the vmemmap mappings (if
      CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled), and also deallocates the
      backing vmemmap pages. Note that for persistent memory, an
      alternative allocator for the backing pages can be used; The
      vmem_altmap. This means that when the backing pages are cleared,
      extra care is needed so that the correct deallocation method is
      used.
    
     arch_get_mappable_range()
      This functions returns the PA range that the direct map can map.
      Used by the MHP internals for sanity checks.
    
    The page table unmap/teardown functions are heavily based on code from
    the x86 tree. The same remove_pgd_mapping() function is used in both
    vmemmap_free() and arch_remove_memory(), but in the latter function
    the backing pages are not removed.
