the x86 bits look small and trivial, so i'd suggest you get this into -mm to after all the other VM patches, because this seems primarily a VM issue.

I would do that, but I'm planning on posting some Xen balloon driver patches which depend on at least one of these patches.

I'll drop "hotplug-memory: adding non-section-aligned memory is bad" because it was just warnings and it was NACKed. "hotplug-memory: add add_memory_resource()" is just a refactor, and should be a noop as far as the existing add_memory() is concerned.


i've applied #3 to x86.git straight away. Does #4 have dependencies on the other patches? I suspect it does so it cannot be applied standalone.

You mean the "paravirt_ops: don't steal memory resources in paravirt_disable_iospace"? That shouldn't have any dependencies. It's the only patch in my queue which even references that file. Rusty said he picked it up too; are you exchanging patches with him?
