For my little corner of memory hotplug, we could seriously use some more
testing of the patch set that we're working on. It's in its infancy,
quite immature and could use a much wider variety of testing, even with
all of our config options off. As Matthew Wilcox noted, "hotplug memory
still needs a lot of work."
It's known to break some things like DISCONTIGMEM and NUMA badly, and
probably also breaks all of the architectures that we haven't been
working with. Patches to fix any of these or any other issues would be
very welcome.
If this is something you are interested in, please check with the people
on lhms-devel@lists.sourceforge.net before doing too much work. You
wouldn't want to duplicate something that anyone else is currently
developing.
For now, the latest patch can be found here:

Beware, that's not a permanent location. But, I'll certainly send mail
out of it ever changes.
