Commit 27356f54c8 ("mm/hotplug: verify hotplug memory range")
introduced a check that makes add_memory() only accept section size
aligned memory.
Therefore on z/VM systems, where standby memory is not aligned, no
standby memory is registered at all.
Example:
#cp def store 3504M standby 2336M
00: CP Q V STORE
00: STORAGE = 3504M MAX = 6G INC = 8M STANDBY = 2336M RESERVED = 0
For this setup the following error message is printed:
Section-unaligned hotplug range: start 0xdb000000, size 0x92000000
So fix this and register aligned memory in "sclp_cmd.c". This means
that for the corner cases where the standby memory is not aligned we
loose some memory.
In order to inform the user about the potential loss of standby memory,
we add a new message for each added standby block and print how
much of the standby memory is usable, for example:
sclp_cmd.4336b4: Standby memory at 0x50000000 (256M of 256M usable)
sclp_cmd.4336b4: Standby memory at 0xb0000000 (256M of 256M usable)
sclp_cmd.4336b4: Standby memory at 0xdb000000 (2048M of 2336M usable)
We also ensure that a potential memory block that contains both "assigned"
and "standby" memory cannot be setup offline.
