Title:
  Change Config Option CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE for s390x
  from yes to no

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu kernel configuration contains 
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y for s390.
  This causes all standby memory configured for an LPAR to be used at IPL time.

  Note that this is definetaly not what a user wants on s390.
  The normal process is: define a certain amount of "base" memory which the 
system should use when IPL'ed, and define also a certain amount of "standby" 
memory which can be (also only partially) be additionaly used when necessary.
  Also note that it is *not* possible to add additional memory to a runnung 
system, besides the amount of memory specified as "standby".

  Therefore please change the kernel config option
  CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE to "n" for s390.
