Subject[PATCH 3/3] memory: introduce an option to force onlining of hotplug memory
Date
Add an extra option to add_memory_resource that overrides the memory
hotplug online behavior in order to force onlining of memory from
add_memory_resource unconditionally.

This is required for the Xen balloon driver, that must run the
online page callback in order to correctly process the newly added
memory region, note this is an unpopulated region that is used by Linux
to either hotplug RAM or to map foreign pages from other domains, and
hence memory hotplug when running on Xen can be used even without the
user explicitly requesting it, as part of the normal operations of the
OS when attempting to map memory from a different domain.

Setting a different default value of memhp_default_online_type when
attaching the balloon driver is not a robust solution, as the user (or
distro init scripts) could still change it and thus break the Xen
balloon driver.
