Yinghai Lu 888a589f6b mm, x86: remove MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE related code 
after:

 | commit b263295dbf
 | Author: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

 |    x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model

we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.

This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

(Changelog authored by Mel.)

v2: updated changelog, and remove hotadd= in doc

[ Impact: remove dead code ]
