IBM's powerpc box can memory hot-add/remove by dynamic partitioning. And our fujitsu server has memory hot-add feature (Ia-64). So, they are concrete user of memory hotplug.
In x86, E8500 chipset has the feature of memory-hotplug. (I searched a data-sheet from intel site.) http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8500/datashts/30674501.pdf (6.3.8 IMI Hot-Plug)
So, it depends on how many server uses it, I think.
Thanks.
