This being the physical addresses. What happens if I pick
ones at random intervals. Say I've got 2GB in the domain,
and I give it 6GB, but the value I provide to to the "probe" is
1048576 (4GB>>12). Would that mean I get the 2GB, and then later
if I did "echo 524288 > probe" it would fill out the 2GB hole?

Here are some.. Hadn't done a complete review.

All of this looks to be a great candidate for sticking it in
its own file. Say drivers/xen/mem_hotplug.c. And then in a header
(include/xen/mem_hotplug.h) have something akin to this:

#if defined(XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
int xen_add_memory(u64 phys_addr);
#else
static int xen_add_memory(u64 phys_addr) { return -1; }
#endif

And the patch for drivers/base/memory.c can include:
.. <snip>..
 #include <xen/mem_hotplug.h>
...


 	nid = memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(phys_addr);
	if (xen_domain())
		 ret = xen_add_memory(phys_addr);
	else
 		ret = add_memory(nid, phys_addr, PAGES_PER_SECTION << PAGE_SHIFT);

> +	}
> +#endif
> +

No need to rewrite that. Use the old implementation for the getting 'nid'.

"else" statement collapse in one? One way would be for you to say have:

#if defined(CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
#define xen_check_hotplug 1
#else
#define xen_check_hotplug 0
#endif

And use that in the above, to say: if (xen_check_hotplug &&
!balloon_stats.balloon_low && !balloon_stats.balloon_high ...) {

	// some code
} else {
	// original ballion code.
