+--------------------------------
+8. Memory hotplug event notifier
+--------------------------------
+Memory hotplug has event notifer. There are 6 types of notification.
+
+MEMORY_GOING_ONLINE
+  Generated before new memory becomes available in order to be able to
+  prepare subsystems to handle memory. The page allocator is still unable
+  to allocate from the new memory.
+
+MEMORY_CANCEL_ONLINE
+  Generated if MEMORY_GOING_ONLINE fails.
+
+MEMORY_ONLINE
+  Generated when memory has succesfully brought online. The callback may
+  allocate pages from the new memory.
+
+MEMORY_GOING_OFFLINE
+  Generated to begin the process of offlining memory. Allocations are no
+  longer possible from the memory but some of the memory to be offlined
+  is still in use. The callback can be used to free memory known to a
+  subsystem from the indicated memory section.
+
+MEMORY_CANCEL_OFFLINE
+  Generated if MEMORY_GOING_OFFLINE fails. Memory is available again from
+  the section that we attempted to offline.
+
+MEMORY_OFFLINE
+  Generated after offlining memory is complete.
+
+A callback routine can be registered by
+  hotplug_memory_notifier(callback_func, priority)
+
+The second argument of callback function (action) is event types of above.
+The third argument is passed by pointer of struct memory_notify.
+
+struct memory_notify {
+       unsigned long start_pfn;
+       unsigned long nr_pages;
+       int status_cahnge_nid;
+}
+
+start_pfn is start_pfn of online/offline memory.
+nr_pages is # of pages of online/offline memory.
+status_change_nid is set node id when N_HIGH_MEMORY of nodemask is (will be)
+set/clear. It means a new(memoryless) node gets new memory by online and a
+node loses all memory. If this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
+If status_changed_nid >= 0, callback should create/discard structures for the
+node if necessary.

+9. Future Work
 --------------
   - allowing memory hot-add to ZONE_MOVABLE. maybe we need some switch like
     sysctl or new control file.
