regions above the end of RAM as 1:1") introduced a regression.

To be able to add memory pages which were added via memory hotplug to
a pv domain, the pages must be "invalid" instead of "identity" in the
p2m list before they can be added.

I used the value 1 on purpose to be able to identify the case by the
value printed in the warning below.

break;

Why? !rc is already tested in the for() clause.

Use else here.

Huh? I want the message to be printed if either set_phys_to_machine()
or add_memory() failed.


if (rc) {
pr_warn("Cannot add additional memory (%i)\n", rc);
