On reboot, all memory that was previously added using object_add and
device_add is placed in this DIMM area.

The new SPAPR_LMB_FLAGS_HOTPLUGGED flag helps Linux to put this memory in
the correct memory zone, so no unmovable allocations are made there,
allowing the object to be easily hot-removed by device_del and
object_del.

The new flag was already proposed on Power Architecture documentation,
and it's waiting for approval.

I would like to get your comments on this change, but it's still not
ready for being merged.

Matching Linux change is here:

This looks reasonable to me - at the very least it doesn't look like
it could do much harm.

Looks good to me, also tested with PowerKVM guests.

Hello Bharata, thank you for reviewing and testing!

During review of this new flag, it was suggested to change it's name to
a better one (on platform's viewpoint). 

So I will have to change the flag name from SPAPR_LMB_FLAGS_HOTPLUGGED
to SPAPR_LMB_FLAGS_HOTREMOVABLE.

Everything should work the same as today.

Best regards,
Leonardo
