Hi everyone:
arm64:
SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30 -----1G

The memory hotplug(add_memory -->check_hotplug_memory_range) 
must be aligned with section.So I can not add mem with 64M ...
Can I modify the SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 26?

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu

There was a patch to reduce this to 27:

Also some discussions in this thread on a different patch:

Does your system really have such small alignment memory blocks?
