This patch fixes two bugs with the way sparsemem interacts with memory
add.  They are:
- memory leak if memmap for section already exists
- calling alloc_bootmem_node() after boot
These bugs were discovered and a first cut at the fixes were provided by
Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]> and Joel Schopp <[email protected]>.

These fix memory adding spu addresses on cell, among other things.
