Ping? This enables a useful feature for Xen guests.

Looks OK to me. I've cc'ed some memory_hotplug.c developers. If
they're OK with it, please add the patch to the (Xen?) tree which uses
it.




Add add_memory_resource() to add memory using an existing "System RAM"
resource. This is useful if the memory region is being located by
finding a free resource slot with allocate_resource().

Not a big deal, but I think "if (ret)" is enough.

The code looks good.
