[PATCH v1 0/3] virtio-mem: Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE

[David Hildenbrand]

Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE in QEMU, which indicates to
a guest that we don't support reading unplugged memory. We indicate
the feature based on a new "unplugged-inaccessible" property available
for x86 targets only (the only ones with legacy guests). Guests that don't
support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE will fail initialization if
indicated/required by the hypervisor.

For example, Linux guests starting with v5.16 will support
VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE.

For future targets that don't have legacy guests (especially arm64), we'll
always indicate VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE.

More details can be found in the description of patch #2.

"
For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to
not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup.
Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines.
Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines.
Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests
completely.
"

TODO: Once 6.2 was release, adjust patch #3. Replace patch #1 by a proper
      Linux header sync.
