Memory hotplug doesn't work with PV guests because:

    a) The p2m cannot be expanded to cover the new sections.

    b) add_memory() builds page tables for the new sections which means
       the new pages must have valid p2m entries (or a BUG occurs).
Is this due to recent p2m rework?
(a) is but (b) has always meant memory hotplug on PV was broken.

I can see why (b) should probably have prevented it from working but I tried this on 4.4/3.17 and that seemed to work (it indeed does not function well on newer bits).
