does hot memory add work on 3.8.13-118.7.1.el6uek.x86_64

I'm testing hot memory add on OL 6.7 kernel 3.8.13-118.7.1.el6uek.x86_64 running on VMWare 5.5.  /var/log/messages shows this error:

Jan  5 13:44:44 vm kernel: acpi_memhotplug PNP0C80:02: add_memory failed

Jan  5 13:44:44 vm kernel: acpi_memhotplug PNP0C80:02: Error in acpi_memory_enable_device

Jan  5 13:44:44 vm kernel: acpi_memhotplug: probe of PNP0C80:02 failed with error -22

Jan  5 13:44:44 vm kernel: acpi PNP0C80:02: driver data not found

Jan  5 13:44:44 vm kernel: ACPI: \_SB_.L1M0.L0M0.MEM4: Cannot find driver data

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks,
