[PATCH] catch valid mem range at onlining memory

This patch allows hot-add memory which is not aligned to section.

Now, hot-added memory has to be aligned to section size.  Considering big
section sized archs, this is not useful.

When hot-added memory is registerd as iomem resoruce by iomem resource
patch, we can make use of that information to detect valid memory range.

Note: With this, not-aligned memory can be registerd. To allow hot-add
      memory with holes, we have to do more work around add_memory().
      (It doesn't allows add memory to already existing mem section.)
