Hi hpa,
The build problem has been fixed by Yinghai.

I think memory hotplug needs at least part1 and part2 patches. But local node pagetable (patch 21 and 22 in part1) will break memory hot-remove path. My part3 intends to fix it, but it seems we need local device pagetable to enable single device hotplug, but not just local node pagetable.
So, my plan is
1. Implement arranging hotpluggable memory with SRAT first, within tj's comments, without local node pagetable. (The main work in part2. And of course, need some patches in part1.) 2. Do the local device pagetable work, not local node. 3. Improve memory hotplug to support local device pagetable.
I'll send a new version patch-set of step1, wishing we can catch up with the merge window. And I think step2 and 3 should be done later.
Thanks. :)
