Almost patches about memory hotplug has been merged into your and Rafael's tree. And these patches are waiting to open the v3.8 merge window. Remaining patches are only this patch-set. So we hope that this patch-set is merged into v3.8. In merging this patch-set into v3.8, Linux on x86_64 makes a memory hot plug possible. Thanks, Yasuaki Ishimatsu
If you want to know the reason, please read following thread. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/83Please include the rationale within each version of the patchset rather than by linking to an old email. Because a) this way, more people are likely to read it b) it permits the text to be maimtained as the code evolves c) it permits the text to be included in the mainlnie commit, where people can find it.The patch-set has only the function of kernel core side for physical memory hot remove. So if you use the patch, please apply following patches. - bug fix for memory hot remove https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/31/269 - acpi framework https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/26/175What's happening with the acpi framework? has it received any feedback from the ACPI developers?
