Subject: [PATCH RFC 7/8] mm: allow to control onlining/offlining of memory by a driver

Some devices (esp. paravirtualized) might want to control
- when to online/offline a memory block
- how to online memory (MOVABLE/NORMAL)
- in which granularity to online/offline memory

So let's add a new flag "driver_managed" and disallow to change the
state by user space. Device onlining/offlining will still work, however
the memory will not be actually onlined/offlined. That has to be handled
by the device driver that owns the memory.
