Nathan Fontenot 0c2c99b1b8 memory hotplug: Allow memory blocks to span multiple memory sections
Update the memory sysfs code such that each sysfs memory directory is now
considered a memory block that can span multiple memory sections per
memory block.  The default size of each memory block is SECTION_SIZE_BITS
to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per
memory block (i.e. one sysfs directory per memory section).

For architectures that want to have memory blocks span multiple
memory sections they need only define their own memory_block_size_bytes()
routine.

Update the memory hotplug documentation to reflect the new behaviors of
memory blocks reflected in sysfs.
