10efd7e108 "pc: acpi: fix memory hotplug regression by reducing stub SRAT entry
size"
attemped to fix hotplug regression introduced by
848a1cc1e "hw/acpi-build: build SRAT memory affinity structures for DIMM
devices"
fixed issue for Windows/3.0+ linux kernels, however it regressed 2.6 based
kernels (RHEL6) to the point where guest might crash at boot.
Reason is that 2.6 kernel discards SRAT table due too small last entry
which down the road leads to crashes. Hack I've tried in 10efd7e108 is also
not ACPI spec compliant according to which whole possible RAM should be
described in SRAT. Revert 10efd7e108 to fix regression for 2.6 based kernels.
With 10efd7e108 reverted, I've also tried splitting SRAT table statically
in different ways %/node and %/slot but Windows still fails to online
2nd pc-dimm hot-plugged into node 0 (as described in 10efd7e108) and
sometimes even coldplugged pc-dimms where affected with static SRAT
partitioning.
The only known so far way where Windows stays happy is when we have 1
SRAT entry in the last node covering all hotplug area.
Revert 848a1cc1e until we come up with a way to avoid regression
on Windows with hotplug area split in several entries.
Tested this with 2.6/3.0 based kernels (RHEL6/7) and WS20[08/12/12R2/16]).
