[PATCH] catch valid mem range at onlining memory
This patch allows hot-add memory which is not aligned to section. Now, hot-added memory has to be aligned to section size. Considering big section sized archs, this is not useful. When hot-added memory is registerd as iomem resoruce by iomem resource patch, we can make use of that information to detect valid memory range. Note: With this, not-aligned memory can be registerd. To allow hot-add memory with holes, we have to do more work around add_memory(). (It doesn't allows add memory to already existing mem section.)
