Looks like memory hot add is supported on ia64, x86, sh, powerpc and s390. Have you tested on any? cheers

I have tested on powerpc. I would love to say I tested on the other platforms... but I haven't. I should be able to get a x86 box to test on but the other architectures may not be possible. -Nathan

If possible it might be worth pulling this one out and sticking it in linux-next for a cycle to give people a chance to test it. Unless someone who knows the code well is comfortable with it. cheers

The remaining code I will send out for review and inclusion in linux-next so it can have the proper test time as you mentioned. -Nathan

Ping ? :-) Cheers, Ben.

When doing memory hot add via the 'probe' interface in sysfs we do not need to loop through and add memory one section at a time. I think this was originally done for powerpc, but is not needed. This patch removes the loop and just calls add_memory for all of the memory to be added.
