Subject: [PATCH V6 1/2] powerpc/hotplug: Ensure enough nodes avail for
 operations


powerpc/hotplug: On systems like PowerPC which allow 'hot-add' of CPU
or memory resources, it may occur that the new resources are to be
inserted into nodes that were not used for these resources at bootup.
In the kernel, any node that is used must be defined and initialized
at boot.  In order to meet both needs, this patch adds a new kernel
command line option (numnodes=<int>) for use by the PowerPC architecture-
specific code that defines the maximum number of nodes that the kernel
will ever need in its current hardware environment.  The boot code that
initializes nodes for PowerPC will read this value and use it to ensure
that all of the desired nodes are setup in the 'node_possible_map', and
elsewhere.
