Dan Williams June 19, 2019, 5:52 a.m. UTC 
Prepare the memory hot-{add,remove} paths for handling sub-section
ranges by plumbing the starting page frame and number of pages being
handled through arch_{add,remove}_memory() to
sparse_{add,remove}_one_section().

This is simply plumbing, small cleanups, and some identifier renames. No
intended functional changes.

As mentioned in v9, use "unsigned long" for start_sec and end_sec please.

Honestly I saw you and Andrew going back and forth about "unsigned
long i" that I thought this would be handled by a follow on patchset
when that debate settled.

I'll send a fixup then, once this patch set is final - hoping I won't
forget about it (that's why I asked about using these types in the first
place).

It's in Andrew's tree now, I'll send an incremental patch.
