Thanks Dave and Tony, that‘s valuable information!

How would it behave after hotplugging a single DIMM  - I assume a single page will only be mapped to that DIMM (otherwise a lot of stuff would habe to be moved around. Would the mapping change after a reboot - especially can a DIMM that could get hotunplugged before suddenly no longer be hotunplugged individually?
