(for hw/pc.c PCI hole is currently [below_4g_mem_size, 4G), so
hotplugged memory should start from max(4G, above_4g_mem_size).
I understand that hotpluggable memory can start from above 4G only. With
the config above we will have memory hole from 1G to PCI memory hole.
May be not a big problem, but I do not see technical reason for the constrain.

512MB looks like a reasonable limitation too, but again if there is not
technical reason for having the limitation why have it?
