From: Yasunori Goto This is a patch to call add_memroy() when notify reaches for new node's add event. When new node is added, notify of ACPI reaches container device which means the node. Container device driver calls acpi_bus_scan() to find and add belonging devices (which means cpu, memory and so on). Its function calls add and start function of belonging devices's driver. Howevever, current memory hotplug driver just register add function to create sysfs file for its memory. But, acpi_memory_enable_device() is not called because it is considered just the case that notify reaches memory device directly. So, if notify reaches container device nothing can call add_memory(). This is a patch to create start function which calls add_memory(). add_memory() can be called by this when notify reaches container device.
