More issues...

Now, that is not right because we do memory hotplug. Thus lmb_add() must
be able to deal with things running past LMB init.

slab_is_available() will do the job for now, unless somebody has bootmem
and tries to lmb_add() memory while bootmem is active, but screw that
for now. See the code I'll post tonight.

Similar comment, don't bother if slab is available.

So you duplicate lmb_add() gratuituously ?

And lmb_reserve() ?

Do we want to end up with 5 copies of the same API with subtle
differences just for fun ?

Cheers,
Ben.
