From: Thomas Huth <th...@redhat.com> QEMU currently crashes when you try to hot-plug an "nvdimm" device on older machine types:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -M pc-1.1 QEMU 3.1.92 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) device_add nvdimm,id=nvdimmn1 qemu-system-x86_64: /home/thuth/devel/qemu/util/error.c:57: error_setv: Assertion `*errp == ((void *)0)' failed. Aborted (core dumped) The call to hotplug_handler_pre_plug() in pc_memory_pre_plug() has been added recently before the check whether nvdimm is enabled. It should be done after the check. And while we're at it, also check the errp after the hotplug_handler_pre_plug(), otherwise errors are silently ignored here.
