But, it could be done with some work. I think "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v5.0+" could be done more easily. Maybe it's okay to not cc:stable this one. We usually online all memory (except s390x), however, s390x does not remove that memory ever. Devmem with driver reserved memory would be, however, worth backporting this.
