[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.

Individual architecture patches will follow.

For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled.  There's a lot of
churn there right now.  We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.
