riscv: mm: Add memory hotplugging support
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.
