    powerpc/mm: allow memory hotplug into a memoryless node · 4a3bac4e

    Patch series "enable movable nodes on non-x86 configs", v7.
    
    This patchset allows more configs to make use of movable nodes.  When
    CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE is selected, there are two ways to introduce such
    nodes into the system:
    
    1. Discover movable nodes at boot. Currently this is only possible on
       x86, but we will enable configs supporting fdt to do the same.
    
    2. Hotplug and online all of a node's memory using online_movable. This
       is already possible on any config supporting memory hotplug, not
       just x86, but the Kconfig doesn't say so. We will fix that.
    
    We'll also remove some cruft on power which would prevent (2).
    
    This patch (of 5):
    
    Remove the check which prevents us from hotplugging into an empty node.
    
    The original commit b226e462 ("[PATCH] powerpc: don't add memory to
    empty node/zone"), states that this was intended to be a temporary measure.
    It is a workaround for an oops which no longer occurs.
