Implement batch dimm creation command line options. These could be useful for not bloating the command line with a large number of dimms.
IMO this is unneeded. With a management tool there is no problem generating a long command line; from the command line -dimm will be a rarely used option.
syntax: -dimms pfx=poolid,size=sz,num=n Will create numdimms dimms with ids poolid0, ..., poolidn-1. Each dimm has a size of sz.
Implement -dimmpop option to populate dimms at bootup syntax: -dimmpop pfx=poolid,num=n This will populate n dimms with ids poolid0, ..., poolidn-1.
(live-migration could break here without patch 12/21: -dimmspop needs to be reworked to support populating of individual dimms with same prefix, and not only a range of dimms starting from 0)
