I have:
# zgrep MEMORY_HOTPLUG /proc/config.gz 
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_XEN_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_LIMIT=512

Not sure if relevant, but I also have:
CONFIG_XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC=y

on top of that, I have a similar udev rule too:

SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"

But I don't think they are conflicting.
