Looks sane to me.
register_memory_resource() makes me cry. Please review:
From: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>
Subject: mm/memory_hotplug.c: register_memory_resource() fixes
- register_memory_resource() should not go BUG on ENOMEM. That's
appropriate at system boot time, but not at memory-hotplug time. Fix.
- register_memory_resource()'s caller is incorrectly replacing
request_resource()'s -EBUSY with -EEXIST. Fix this by propagating
errors appropriately.
