Subject: [PATCH] x86, acpi memory hotplug, add parameter to disable memory hotplug
When booting a kexec/kdump kernel on a system that has specific memory hotplug
regions the boot will fail with warnings like:

because the system has run out of memory at boot time. This occurs
because of the following sequence in the boot:
Main kernel boots and sets E820 map. The second kernel is booted with a
map generated by the kdump service using memmap= and memmap=exactmap.
These parameters are added to the kernel parameters of the kexec/kdump
kernel. The kexec/kdump kernel has limited memory resources so as not
to severely impact the main kernel.
The system then panics and the kdump/kexec kernel boots (which is a
completely new kernel boot). During this boot ACPI is initialized and the
kernel (as can be seen above) traverses the ACPI namespace and finds an
entry for a memory device to be hotadded.

At this point the kernel adds page table information and the the kexec/kdump
kernel runs out of memory.
This can also be reproduced with a "regular" kernel by using the
memmap=exactmap and mem=X parameters on the main kernel and booting.
This patchset resolves the problem by adding a kernel parameter,
acpi_no_memhotplug, to disable ACPI memory hotplug. ACPI memory hotplug
should also be disabled by default when a user specified a memory mapping with
"memmap=exactmap" or "mem=X".
