Standby memory detected with the sclp interface gets always registered
with add_memory calls without considering the limitationt that the
"mem=" kernel paramater implies.
So fix this and only register standby memory that is below the specified
limit.
This fixes zfcpdump since it uses "mem=32M". In case there is appr.
2GB standby memory present all of usable memory would be used for the
struct pages needed for standby memory.

Move memory detection code to own file and also simplify it.
Also add an interface which can be called at any time to get the
current memory layout. This interface is needed by our kernel
internal system dumper.

It caused only a lot of confusion. From now on cpu hotplug of up to
NR_CPUS will work by default. If somebody wants to limit that then
the possible_cpus parameter can be used.

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and
configured state.
Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state.
For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used.
To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute.
In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to
the attribute.
Only cpus in configured state can be brought online.
In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to
logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus
will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan"
must be used.
Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of
cpus and will create directories for new cpus.
On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all
cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).
