[PATCH v6 1/4] powerpc/mm: allow memory hotplug into a memoryless node

From: Reza Arbab
Date: Mon Nov 07 2016 - 18:45:33 EST


Remove the check which prevents us from hotplugging into an empty node.

The original commit b226e4621245 ("[PATCH] powerpc: don't add memory to
empty node/zone"), states that this was intended to be a temporary measure.
It is a workaround for an oops which no longer occurs.
