It should actually depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, but the pseries
OF_RECONFIG_DETACH_NODE code seems to be the only code that doesn't
make that distinction. CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE acts as a wrapper to
protect configs that don't have ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, so we'll
want to keep it around and presumably that powerpc code depends on it as
well.
