Hotplug memory sources may have opinions on what the memblock size should be - usually for alignment purposes. For example, CXL memory extents can be as small as 256MB with a matching physical alignment. Implement memblock_advise_size_order for use during early init, prior to allocator and smp init, for software to advise the system as to what the preferred block size should be. The probe function is meant for arch_init code to fetch this value once during memblock size calculation. Use of the advisement value is arch-specific, and no guarantee is made that it will be used. Calls to either function after probe results in -EBUSY to signal that advisement is ignored or that memblock_get_size_bytes should be used.
