What is the plan for handling e820 with memory hotplug btw?
You've mentioned e820 entries for hotpluggable dimms present at boot are
needed for some guests.
I'm about to add a new e820 fw_cfg interface (see
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/238860).
So maybe design that with memory hotplug in mind? Such as adding a new
qemu-specific type QEMU_RAM_HOTPLUG? Which seabios could use to reserve
the memory (but not add it to the e820 table for the guest)?
cheers,
Gerd
