Hmm. If there is already a pgdat for new memory, it is not too much.
Just searching is necessary, which node new memory belongs to.
But, if not (this means it is new node), then it must not only allocate
and initialize new pgdat, all node's zonelists also must be updated,
because other zonelists don't know there is new node's zone.
And kmalloc is not good for allocation of new pgdat as further step.
The new pgdat should be on new own nodes for performance,
but kmalloc can't allocate on it, because its node is not initialized
itself.
I've worked for it for long time, and I have patch set against
2.6.14-rc12-git8-mhp1. But it needs many patches which have
included stock kernel, so I would like to move 2.6.15-mm2.
(Fortunately, basis of memory-hot add is included in stock kernel.
So, I would like to post them step by step like followings.
1st) There is pgdat for new memory.
2nd) allocate pgdat by kmalloc.
3rd) allocate pgdat on its nodes.
But, in addition, mempolicy and cpusets also must be updated.
I've not worked for it yet.

IIRC, SRAT is just for booting time. So, when hotplug occured,
it is not reliable. DSDT should be used for it in order to SRAT
like following 2 patches.
First is to get pxm from physical address.
I'll post the second patch after this post.
Thanks.
