hm.  Dan isn't around at present so we're on our own with this one.

x86 doesn't put arch_add_memory and arch_remove_memory into __meminit. 
x86 does

#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
int arch_add_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size, struct vmem_altmap *altmap,
		bool want_memblock)
{
	...


So I guess powerpc should do that as well?
