[PATCH] pgdat allocation and update for ia64 of memory hotplug: update pgdat address array

Browse source 
This is to refresh node_data[] array for ia64.  As I mentioned previous
patches, ia64 has copies of information of pgdat address array on each node as
per node data.

At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them.  (I
wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch,
this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after
completion of pgdat initialization.

So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map().
(Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just
hot-add.....

Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur,
       because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may
       touch NODE_DATA() due to race condition. :-(
