[PATCH 3/3] [2.6.26] ehea: Add DLPAR memory remove support
The eHEA driver uses the recently modified walk_memory_resource for powerpc functionality to detect the memory layout. It further uses the memory hotplug notifiers to catch memory hotplug events.

[RFC no patch yet] bootmem2: Another try
Hi, my idea is now as follows: Bootmem2 is block-oriented where a block represents a contiguous range of physical memory. Every block has a bitmap that keeps track of the pages on it. On top of this block interface, bootmem2 implements the node model where a node can provide one or more memory blocks. O... 7 May 2008 08:31
