Hmm? As I understand Igor just wants some address space for memory
hotplug. So there wouldn't be memory there (yet). And telling seabios
there is although there isn't will make seabios place wrong info into
the e820 tables. Not going to fly.

Hmm. Sure such guests exist? Note this is physical address lines, not
virtual address space (where you might need an additional level of
pagetables to fully use it, which is not something we could expect old
guests being able to handle).
