Subject: [PATCH RFC] hotplug-memory: refactor online_pages to separate zone
 growth from page onlining

The Xen balloon driver needs to separate the process of hot-installing
memory into two phases: one to allocate the page structures and
configure the zones, and another to actually online the pages of newly
installed memory.

This patch splits up the innards of online_pages() into two pieces which
correspond to these two phases.  The behaviour of online_pages() itself
is unchanged.
