Hi Rafael,

Thanks for review. The same to the ACPI CPU hotplug handling, this is illegal
also during kernel boot. If we just want to disable, then perhaps something
like below?

--- a/drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
@@ -366,6 +366,9 @@ static bool __initdata acpi_no_memhotplug;

void __init acpi_memory_hotplug_init(void)
{
+ if (cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_ACPI_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DISABLED))
+ acpi_no_memhotplug = true;
+
if (acpi_no_memhotplug) {
memory_device_handler.attach = NULL;
acpi_scan_add_handler(&memory_device_handler);

Thanks,
-Kai
