SubjectRe: [PATCH 2 of 4] hotplug-memory: adding non-section-aligned memory is bad

It seems the only in-tree user of the notifier is mm/slub.c, and it only
cares about MEM_GOING_ONLINE, GOING_OFFLINE, OFFLINE and CANCEL_ONLINE
(not ONLINE or CANCEL_OFFLINE).

Also,

if (onlined_pages)
memory_notify(MEM_ONLINE, &arg);

doesn't seem correct, because arg.nr_pages still has the original
nr_pages, and not the number of pages actually onlined (onlined_pages).
Also arg.start_pfn isn't terribly meaningful if a discontiguous set of
pages can be actually onlined.
