[Xen-devel] [PATCH V2] xen/balloon: Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver



Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver. It should be
mentioned that hotplugged memory is not onlined automatically.
It should be onlined by user through standard sysfs interface.

This patch applies to Linus' git tree, v2.6.39-rc5 tag with a few
prerequisite patches available at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/2/339
and at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/28/98.

I have received notice that previous series of patches broke machine
migration under Xen. I am going to confirm that and solve that problem
ASAP (#define ASAP LATER_THEN_SOONER_HOWEVER_IT_WILL_BE_DONE). I do not
have received any notices about other problems till now.
