Has anyone looked into memory hot swap/hot add support?
Adding memory probably isn't going to be too hard... but taking existing memory off line is tricky. You have to find some way of finding all the pages that are in use and then dealing with them appropriately, and when some are locked or contain kernel data this would be extremely difficult I should think.
Especially with systems with Chipkill coming out, this would be great to support...
Chipkill?
