MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers were introduced
to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state. This enhancement was crucial for implementing the "memmap on memory"
feature for s390.
With introduction of dynamic (de)configuration of hotpluggable memory,
memory can be brought to accessible state before add_memory(). Memory
can be brought to inaccessible state before remove_memory(). Hence,
there is no need of MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory
notifiers anymore.
This basically reverts commit
c5f1e2d189 ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifiers")
Additionally, apply minor adjustments to the function parameters of
move_pfn_range_to_zone() and mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory() to ensure
compatibility with the latest branch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
