[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for 2.13 v3 0/2] target/ppc: Support adding memory to initially memory-less NUMA nodes

[Serhii Popovych]

Now PowerPC Linux kernel supports hot-add to NUMA nodes not populated
initially with memory we can enable such support in qemu. This requires
two changes:

  o Add device tree property "ibm,max-associativity-domains" to let
    guest kernel chance to find max possible NUMA node

  o Revert  commit b556854bd852 ("spapr: Don't allow memory hotplug to
    memory less nodes") to remove check for hot-add to memory-less node.

See description messges for individual changes for more details.

v3:
  - Make layer for max_cpus unspecified instead of setting it to zero.
    Not adding cpu_to_be32(spapr_vcpu_id(spapr, max_cpus - 1)) because
    at the moment we only want max number for numa nodes to enable feat.
  - Rebase to current state of master branch.

v2:
  - Reorder patches in series according to description above.
  - Add extra coment to revert noticing return to previous behaviour for
    guests without support for hot-add to empty node.
  - Drop max_cpus from topology in property due to vcpu id discontiguous
    allocations. Thanks to David Gibson for extra explanation.
  - Rebase to current state of master branch.
