<title>powerpc/mm: Fix memory_block_size_bytes() for non-pseries</title>

<content type='text'>
Just compiling pseries in the kernel causes it to override
memory_block_size_bytes() regardless of what is the runtime
platform.

This cleans up the implementation of that function, fixing
a bug or two while at it, so that it's harmless (and potentially
useful) for other platforms. Without this, bugs in that code
would trigger a WARN_ON() in drivers/base/memory.c when
booting some different platforms.

If/when we have another platform supporting memory hotplug we
might want to either move that out to a generic place or
make it a ppc_md. callback.

Reconfiguration notifier call for device node may fail by several reasons,
but it always assumes kmalloc failures.

This enables reconfiguration notifier call chain to get the actual error
code rather than -ENOMEM by converting all reconfiguration notifier calls
to return encapsulate error code with notifier_from_errno().

Oooops... we missed these. We incorrectly converted strings
used when parsing the device-tree on pseries, thus breaking
access to drconf memory and hotplug memory.

While at it, also revert some variable names that represent
something the FW calls "lmb" and thus don't need to be converted
to "memblock".

This ensures that the translations for unmapped IO mappings or
unmapped memory are properly removed from the MMU hash table
before such an unplug. Without this, the hypervisor refuses the
unplug operations due to those resources still being mapped by
the partition.

Testing hotplug memory remove has revealed that we can oops in
pseries_lmb_remove().  The incorrect shift causes a NULL pointer
dereference in the page_zone() inline routine.

I have only been able to reproduce the oops on kernels with large pages
enabled.

Tested on Power5 and Power6 with and without large pages enabled.
