Certainly for the i386 it can, whether this has ever been ported to other
platforms I have no idea. I have to say that because it is not in the
regular kernel I have never used it, but this is what it is supposed to do.
I suppose that the reason that it has not made it into the regular kernel
is that it needed to be integrated with NUMA support (assuming that NUMA
does what I think it does).

Please respond to

Linux can do that? I thought only VM and MVS were capable of taking bad
memory offline and continuing to run until the CE gets there to fix it.
