include/linux/memory.h: implement register_hotmemory_notifier()
When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, we don't want the memory-hotplug notifier handlers to be included in the .o files, for space reasons. The existing hotplug_memory_notifier() tries to handle this but testing with gcc-4.4.4 shows that it doesn't work - the hotplug functions are still present in the .o files. So implement a new register_hotmemory_notifier() which is a copy of register_hotcpu_notifier(), and which actually works as desired. hotplug_memory_notifier() and register_memory_notifier() callsites should be converted to use this new register_hotmemory_notifier(). While we're there, let's repair the existing hotplug_memory_notifier(): it simply stomps on the register_memory_notifier() return value, so well-behaved code cannot check for errors. Apparently non of the existing callers were well-behaved :( Cc: Andrew Shewmaker <agshew@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
