I checked Sourabh's ppc patches, am wondering why memory hotplug is not
handled. Is it going to be that CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is enabled on ppc,
while Sourabh is not willing to handle it for now?
Only passing KEXEC_CRASH_HP_ADD_MEMORY/KEXEC_CRASH_HP_REMOVE_MEMORY to
indicate that they are not supported sounds weird to me, honestly.
