[PATCH: 002/002] Catch notification of memory add event of ACPI via container driver.(avoid redundant call add_memory)

[Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>]

When acpi_memory_device_init() is called at boottime to
register struct memory acpi_memory_device, 
acpi_bus_add() are called via acpi_driver_attach().

But it also calls ops->start() function.
It is called even if the memory blocks are initialized at
early boottime. In this case add_memory() return -EEXIST, and
the memory blocks becomes INVALID state even if it is normal.

This is patch to avoid calling add_memory() for already available memory.
