Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2] Memory-Hotplug: Fix the bug on interface /dev/mem
 for 64-bit kernel

After reviewed by Fengguang, resend the v2 patch to mailing-list.

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.

Memory hotplug still has critical issues for 32-bit kernel, and it is more 
important for 64-bit kernel, we fix it on 64-bit first. We add a function 
update_end_of_memory_vars in file arch/x86/mm/init.c to update these variables.
