Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Drivers: base: memory: Export functionality for "in kernel" onlining of memory

The current machinery for hot-adding memory requires having user
level to bring the memory segments online. Export the necessary functionality
to bring the memory segment online without involving user space code.
