    When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, we don't want the memory-hotplug notifier
    handlers to be included in the .o files, for space reasons.
    
    The existing hotplug_memory_notifier() tries to handle this but testing
    with gcc-4.4.4 shows that it doesn't work - the hotplug functions are
    still present in the .o files.
    
    So implement a new register_hotmemory_notifier() which is a copy of
    register_hotcpu_notifier(), and which actually works as desired.
    hotplug_memory_notifier() and register_memory_notifier() callsites
    should be converted to use this new register_hotmemory_notifier().
    
    While we're there, let's repair the existing hotplug_memory_notifier():
    it simply stomps on the register_memory_notifier() return value, so
    well-behaved code cannot check for errors.  Apparently non of the
    existing callers were well-behaved :(
