Subject: [PATCH] Memory-Hotplug: Fix the bug on interface /dev/mem for
 64-bit kernel(v1)

Memory-Hotplug: Fix the bug on interface /dev/mem for 64-bit kernel

The new added memory can not be access by interface /dev/mem, because we do not
 update the variable high_memory. This patch add a new e820 entry in e820 table,
 and update max_pfn, max_low_pfn and high_memory.

We add a function update_pfn in file arch/x86/mm/init.c to udpate these
 varibles. Memory hotplug does not make sense on 32-bit kernel, so we did not
 concern it in this function.
