This is the very basic, initial version of virtio-mem. More info on virtio-mem in general can be found in the Linux kernel driver posting [1] and in patch #10.
"The basic idea of virtio-mem is to provide a flexible, cross-architecture memory hot(un)plug solution that avoids many limitations imposed by existing technologies, architectures, and interfaces." There are a lot of addons in the works (esp. protection of unplugged memory, better hugepage support (esp. when reading unplugged memory), resizeable memory backends, migration optimizations, support for more architectures, ...), this is the very basic version to get the ball rolling. The first 8 patches make sure we don't have any sudden surprises e.g., if somebody tries to pin all memory in RAM blocks, resulting in a higher memory consumption than desired. The remaining patches add basic virtio-mem along with support for x86-64.
