[PATCH R4 7/7] xen/balloon: Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver

From: Daniel Kiper
Date: Tue Mar 08 2011 - 16:51:11 EST


Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver. It should be
mentioned that hotplugged memory is not onlined automatically.
It should be onlined by user through standard sysfs interface.
