Commit 25b884a83d487fd62c3de7ac1ab5549979188482 ("x86/xen: set
regions above the end of RAM as 1:1") introduced a regression.

To be able to add memory pages which were added via memory hotplug to
a pv domain, the pages must be "invalid" instead of "identity" in the
p2m list before they can be added.

Not really. set_phys_to_machine returns false on failure...

I do not think that this stuff is needed for HVM or PVH guests.

True.

+               rc = add_memory(nid, hotplug_start_paddr,

        if (rc) {

It will be nice to know what part of infrastructure failed.
Could you create separate pr_warn() message for set_phys_to_machine()?

Value 1 for rc is the indicator for that case.
