Strange. I tested it with this script and I received: 0001-mm-Add-add_registered_memory-to-memory-hotplug-API.txt has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission. I do not know why my e-mail was mangled. For your convenience I am sending this patch as attachment. Empty lines are added for better readability (it is my opinion) however, I do not insist to leave this patch with that formating. Daniel
add_registered_memory() adds memory ealier registered as memory resource. It is required by memory hotplug for Xen guests, however it could be used also by other modules.
