Patch series "mm: Use hotplug_memory_notifier() instead of register_hotmemory_notifier()", v4. Commitf02c696800("include/linux/memory.h: implement register_hotmemory_notifier()") introduced register_hotmemory_notifier() to avoid a compile problem with gcc-4.4.4: When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, we don't want the memory-hotplug notifier handlers to be included in the .o files, for space reasons. The existing hotplug_memory_notifier() tries to handle this but testing with gcc-4.4.4 shows that it doesn't work - the hotplug functions are still present in the .o files. Since commit76ae847497("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1") has already updated the minimum gcc version to 5.1. The previous problem mentioned inf02c696800does not exist. So we can now revert to use hotplug_memory_notifier() directly rather than register_hotmemory_notifier(). In the last patch, we move all hotplug memory notifier priority to same file for easy sorting. This patch (of 8): Commit76ae847497("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1") updated the minimum gcc version to 5.1. So the problem mentioned inf02c696800("include/linux/memory.h: implement register_hotmemory_notifier()") no longer exist. So we can now switch to use hotplug_memory_notifier() directly rather than register_hotmemory_notifier().

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 Restructured Text 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.
