memory_hotplug: introduce memhp_default_state= command line parameter
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE specifies the default value for the memory hotplug onlining policy. Add a command line parameter to make it possible to override the default. It may come handy for debug and testing purposes. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: "Kirill A.
