I wouldn't know about that, but I had reason to hot swap a PCMCIA memory module into a machine replacing a PCMCIA network adapter, and I can verify that Win95 handled the swap without problem, reporting the extra memory as available. The machine didn't have Linux installed, so I can't comment on whether it could handle it, sorry...
Surely if something as crap as Win95 can handle this, Linux can also do so...
Best wishes from Riley.
