Subject: [PATCH 1 of 4] hotplug-memory: add add_memory_resource

The Xen balloon driver uses hotplug memory to extend the amount of
pseudo-physical memory available to a virtual domain.  Since this memory
is virtual, it can go anywhere within the kernel's pseudo-physical
address space.

This patch adds a new hotplug memory call, add_memory_resource(), which
adds memory corresponding to a pre-constructed resource.  This allows
callers to use allocate_resource() to allocate a suitable chunk of
address space for the new memory (as well as cosmetic details, like a
descriptive name).
