[2/8,v3] NUMA Hotplug Emulator: infrastructure of NUMA hotplug emulation

From: shaohui . zheng

From: Haicheng Li <haicheng.li@xxxxxxxxx>

NUMA hotplug emulator introduces a new node state N_HIDDEN to
identify the fake offlined node. It firstly hides RAM via E820
table and then emulates fake offlined nodes with the hidden RAM.

After system bootup, user is able to hotplug-add these offlined
nodes, which is just similar to a real hardware hotplug behavior.

Using boot option "numa=hide=N*size" to fake offlined nodes:
- N is the number of hidden nodes
- size is the memory size (in MB) per hidden node.

OPEN: Kernel might use part of hidden memory region as RAM buffer,
now emulator directly hide 128M extra space to workaround
this issue. Any better way to avoid this conflict?
