I'd keep it here for future development.No, I don't think we should add stuff unconditionally. If not nvdimm, some other flag should indicate user intends to hotplug things.Actually, it is not unconditionally which is called if parameter "-m aaa, maxmem=bbb" (aaa < bbb) is used. It is on the some path of memoy-hotplug initiation.Right, but that's not the same as nvdimm.it could be pc-machine property, then it could be turned on like this: -machine nvdimm_support=on
Er, I do not understand why this separate switch is needed and why nvdimm and pc-dimm is different. :( NVDIMM reuses memory-hotplug's framework, such as maxmem, slot, and dimm device, even some of ACPI logic to do hotplug things, etc. Both nvdimm and pc-dimm are built on the same infrastructure.
