> The inability to offline all non-primary node memory sections

You make it sound like it's just some minor technical hurdle
that needs to be addressed. But from all analysis of these issues
I've seen so far it's extremly hard and all possible solutions
have serious issues. So before doing some baby steps there
should be at least some general idea how this thing is supposed
to work in the end.


That's the easy stuff. The hard parts are all the kernel objects
that you cannot move.
