This is v4 of the ACPI memory hotplug functionality. Only x86_64 target is
supported (both i440fx and q35). There are still several issues, but it's
been a while since v3 and I wanted to get some more feedback on the current
state of the patchseries.

Overview:

Dimm device layout is modeled with a normal qemu device:

"-device dimm,id=name,size=sz,node=pxm,populated=on|off,bus=membus.0"

The starting physical address for all dimms is calculated from top of memory,
during memory controller init, skipping the pci hole at [PCI_HOLE_START, 4G).
e.g.
"-device dimm,id=dimm0,size=512M,node=0,populated=off,bus=membus.0"
will define a 512M memory dimm belonging to numa node 0, on bus membus.0.

Because dimm layout needs to be configured on machine-boot, all dimm devices
need to be specified on startup command line (either with populated=on or with
populated=off). The dimm information is stored in dimm configuration structures.

After machine startup, dimms are hot-added or removed with normal device_add
and device_del operations e.g.:
Hot-add syntax: "device_add dimm,id=mydimm0,bus=membus.0"
Hot-remove syntax: "device_del dimm,id=mydimm0"

Changes v3->v4

- Dimms added with normal -device argument (extra -dimm arg dropped).
- multiple memory buses can be registered. Memory buses of the real hw/chipset
  or a paravirtual memory bus can be added.
- acpi implementation uses memory API instead of old ioports.
- Support for q35/ich9 added (still buggy, see patch 12/31).
- piix4/i440fx initialization code has been refactored to resemble q35. This
will allow memory map initialization at chipset qdev init time for both
machines, as well as more similar code.
- Hot-remove functionality has been moved to separate patches. Hot-remove no
longer frees memory but unmaps the dimm/qdev device from the guest's view.
Freeing the memory should happen when the last user unrefs/unmaps the memory,

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-11/msg02697.html
- new qmp/hmp command for the state of each dimm (on/off)

Changes v2->v3

- qdev integration. Dimms are attached to a dimmbus. The dimmbus is a child
  of i440fx device in the pc machine. Hot-add and remove are done with normal
  device_add / device_del operations on the dimmbus. New commands "dimm_add" and
  "dimm_del" are obsolete.
- Add _PS3 method to allow OSPM-induced hot operations.
- pci-window calculation in Seabios takes dimms into account(for both 32-bit and
  64-bit windows)
- rename new qmp commands: query-memory-total and query-memory-hotplug
- balloon driver can see the hotplugged memory

Changes v1->v2

- memory map is automatically calculated for hotplug dimms. Dimms are added from
top-of-memory skipping the pci hole at [PCI_HOLE_START, 4G).
- Renamed from "-memslot" to "-dimm". Commands changed to "dimm_add", "dimm_del"
- Seabios ejection array reduced to a byte. Use extraction macros for dimm ssdt.
- additional SRAT paravirt info does not break previous SRAT fw_cfg layout.
- Documentation of new acpi_piix4 registers and paravirt data.
- add ACPI _OST support for _OST enabled guests. This allows qemu to receive
notification for success / failure of memory hot-add and hot-remove operations.
Guest needs to support _OST (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/25/321)
- add monitor info command to report total guest memory (initial + hot-added)

Issues:

- hot-remove needs to only unmap the dimm device from guest's view. Freeing the
memory should happen when the last user of the device (e.g. virtio-blk) unrefs
the device. A testcase is needed for this.

- Live Migration: Ramblocks are migrated before qdev VMStates are migrated. So
the DimmDevice is handled diferrently than other devices. Should this be
reworked ?( DimmDevice structure currently does not define a VMStateDescription)
Live migration works as long as the dimm layout (command line args) are
identical at the source and destination qemu command line, and destination takes
into account hot-operations that have occured on source. (v3 patch 10/19
created the DimmDevice that corresponds to an unknown incoming ramblock, e.g.
for a dimm that was hot-added on source. but has been dropped for the moment).

- A main blocker issue is windows guest functionality. The patchset does not
work for windows currently.  Testing on win2012 server RC or windows2008
consumer prerelease, when adding a DIMM, there is a BSOD with ACPI_BIOS_ERROR
message. After this, the VM keeps rebooting with ACPI_BIOS_ERROR. The windows
pnpmem driver obviosuly has a problem with the seabios dimm implementation
(or the seabios dimm implementation is not fully ACPI-compliant). If someone
can review the seabios patches or has any ideas to debug this, let me know.

- hot-operation notification lists need to be added to migration state.

series is based on:
- qemu master (commit a8a826a3) + patch:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-11/msg02699.html
- seabios master (commit a810e4e7)
