[Qemu-devel] [RESEND PATCH v4 00/10] QEmu memory hot unplug support.

[Tang Chen]

This patch-set implements memory hot-remove for QEmu. 

Rebased on Igor's asynchronize hotplug framework (qemu v2.1.2, the latest).

Approach: QEmu sets GPE status bit, then triggers SCI to notify guest os.
Guest os checks device status, and free memory resource if possible,
then generate OST.

NOTE: In this version, memory hot-remove is independent from _OST, 
      following Igor's comments.
      Patches _OST handling for platforms supporting _OST will come 
      soon when Igor finishes his refacting for framework of hotplug.

Change log v3 -> v4 (RESEND):
1. Add new patch 1 ~ 4, fix some small problems in coding.
2. In patch 9, make memory hot-remove independent from _OST.
3. In patch 9, add comment for is_removing flag to document.
4. In patch 10, use macro instead of number.
5. Remove original patch 8 and 12 to coincident with asynchronize
   hotplug framework.
