[PATCH v4 3/5] powerpc/mm: allow memory hotplug into a memoryless node

Show all headers | View raw

Remove the check which prevents us from hotplugging into an empty node.

This limitation has been questioned before [1], and judging by the
response, there doesn't seem to be a reason we can't remove it. No issues
have been found in light testing.
