in case of hot-remove failure on a guest that does not implement _OST, the dimm bitmaps in qemu and Seabios show the dimm as unplugged, but the dimm is still present on the qdev/memory bus. To avoid this inconsistency, we set the dimm state to active/hot-plugged on a reset of the associated acpi_pm device. This way the dimm is still active after a VM reboot and dimm visibility has always the same behaviour, regardless of _OST support in the guest.
