Description : Hotplug is supported only for 64 dimms and the same is controlled 
by the sysfs parameter

# cat /sys/module/vhost/parameters/max_mem_regions
64

However qemu supports 256 slots max. In my opinion max_mem_regions must
be >= 256.

log :

63
Device attached successfully    <--- 63 times devices attached successfully, 
later all attach failed.
