With mhp_memmap_on_memory() some memory might already be touched during
add_memory() (because part of the hotplug memory is used for holding the
memmap), not when actually onlining memory. So in that case, this would
be too late.

add_memory_resource() sounds better, even though I disgust such TDX
special handling in common code.
