The patches are now upstream, after the 2.31 release, so they will be in 2.32.
Canonical probably can not wait until 2.32, but the following commits should apply on top of 2.31.

Currently 2.31 is available here :
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.31/

Following patches could be applied.

lsmem/chmem: add memory zone awareness

With this patch, valid memory zones can be shown with lsmem, and chmem can
set memory online/offline in a specific memory zone, if allowed by the
kernel. The valid memory zones are read from the "valid_zones" sysfs
attribute, and setting memory online to a specific zone is done by
echoing "online_kernel" or "online_movable" to the "state" sysfs
attribute, in addition to the previous "online".

This patch also changes the default behavior of chmem, when setting memory
online without specifying a memory zone. If valid, memory will be set
online to the zone Movable. This zone is preferable for memory hotplug, as
it makes memory offline much more likely to succeed.

tests/lsmem: update lsmem test with ZONES column

The existing s390 and x86_64 dumps already contain the valid_zones sysfs
attribute, so just add a new "lsmem -o +ZONES" test command and update
the expected results.

We can cherry-pick these commits, or upgrade to 2.32 if and when it is available.

This request is accepted at a wishlist priority, and should not be requested as high.

Scheduling this by end of december for bionic only.

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.30.2-0.1ubuntu1

---------------
util-linux (2.30.2-0.1ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Build hwclock with audit support.
    - Ship lsmem/chmeme utilities.
    - Regularly trim SSDs automatically (core-1311-ssd-trimming):
      + Add debian/fstrim-all.cron: Call fstrim --all. Installed as
        /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim.
    - Drop debian/hwclock.rules and hwclock.default, recent kernels sync the
      RTC automatically.
    - Add sulogin-fallback-static-sh.patch: Add support for /bin/static-sh as
      fallback if the regular shell fails to execute. Patch ported from
      sysvinit. (see LP #505887)
    - Add sulogin-lockedpwd.patch: Make sure file systems can be fixed on
      machines with locked root accounts (as Ubuntu does by default). Don't
      require --force for sulogin.
    - Drop the Breaks: cloud-utils, Ubuntu has a different cloud-utils
      packaging and this does not affect Ubuntu ≥ 16.04 any more.
    - Add debian/util-linux.maintscript to clean upstart jobs on upgrade. This
      needs to be kept until after 18.04 LTS.
    - Add fallocate binary to util-linux-udeb.

  * Cherrypick upstream patches to add zones support to lsmem/chmem. LP:
    #1731937.

util-linux (2.30.2-0.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream version 2.30.2 (Closes: #877932)
    - fstab(5): mention how tabs are escaped (Closes: #580047)
    - fstrim: prefer earlier mounted filesystems (Closes: #864806)
    - lib/pager: don't use pager if command not available (Closes: #852605)
    - lscpu: use libsmartcols to print summary too (Closes: #811488)
  * Disable pristine-tar.
    It's currently not possible to generate pristine tarballs for util-linux
    with pristine-tar.
    See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=869191
  * Update symbols file for libblkid1, libfdisk1, libmount1 and libsmartcols1
  * Add bison to Build-Depends
  * Drop d/p/man-page-tweaks-cleanup-my_dev_t.h-ancient-stuff.patch.
    No longer useful, as it adds a reference to the deprecated SysV init
    script and a no longer existing README file.
  * Drop d/p/Disable-the-fallback-clause-in-hwclock-when-dev-rtc-.patch.
    Fixed upstream.
  * Refresh remaining patches

util-linux (2.29.2-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Switch to XB-Important: yes to actually apply it.
    Thanks to Adam Borowski for the catch. (Closes: #872877)
  * Let uscan verify signature of upstream tarballs
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.0
  * Reinstate LaMont as primary maintainer and remove myself from uploaders

util-linux (2.30.1-0ubuntu5) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Add --with-audit to rules file and libaudit-dev to build depenedencies.
    The hwclock needs audit defined in order to create audit records when
    time is changed. (LP: #1722313)
