Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Add all memory via sysfs probe interface at once

When doing memory hot add via the 'probe' interface in sysfs we do not
need to loop through and add memory one section at a time. I think this
was originally done for powerpc, but is not needed. This patch removes
the loop and just calls add_memory for all of the memory to be added.
