It should actually depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, but the pseries 
OF_RECONFIG_DETACH_NODE code seems to be the only code that doesn't 
make that distinction.  CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE acts as a wrapper to 
protect configs that don't have ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, so we'll 
want to keep it around and presumably that powerpc code depends on it as 
well.
