I read hotadd-reserve patches again.. Okay, please preallocate if you want.

Problem I found is:
1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.
   rebuild zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory < 4G at boot,  
 
   and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32, ZONE_NORAML is not 
included into
   zonelist at boot time if system doesn't have memory >4G at boot.

2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented. you 
should do.

Bye.
