mm/hmm/devmem: device memory hotplug using ZONE_DEVICE
This introduce a simple struct and associated helpers for device driver to use when hotpluging un-addressable device memory as ZONE_DEVICE. It will find a unuse physical address range and trigger memory hotplug for it which allocates and initialize struct page for the device memory. Device driver should use this helper during device initialization to hotplug the device memory. It should only need to remove the memory once the device is going offline (shutdown or hotremove). There should not be any userspace API to hotplug memory expect maybe for host device driver to allow to add more memory to a guest device driver. Device's memory is manage by the device driver and HMM only provides helpers to that effect.
