Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v8, part3 12/14] mm: correctly update zone->mamaged_pages

   Typo in the subject: s/mamaged_pages/managed_pages/.

Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for
highmem pages. And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages
to use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages,
totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way.

Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon
driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has already adjusted
totalhigh_pages.

This patch also fixes two bugs:
1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when
    reserve/unreserve pages.
2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing
    memory.

We still need to deal with modifications of totalram_pages in file
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/cmm.c, but need help from PPC experts.

Why not declare it right in the *for* loop? You could use intializer then...
