If hot add 100MiB memory like this:
(monitor) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=100M
(monitor) device_add pc-dimm,id=d0,memdev=ram0

The hotplug operation will faile, and the guest will print error message:
Section-unaligned hotplug range: start 0x100000000, size 0x6400000
acpi PNP0C80:00: add_memory failed
acpi PNP0C80:00: acpi_memory_enable_device() error

Then I found that, according to the func check_hotplug_memory_range() in linux
kernel, backend memory size must be multiple of 128MiB, not 2MiB.

So this patch checks whether backend memory size is multiple of 128MiB.

Hi all,

I am sorry that this method to fix this bug was not perfect.
I will find another way to do this.
Plz ignore this patch.

Regards,
Zhu

It's linux limitation, Windows guests work just fine with small blocks.

It should be fixed in linux kernel or/and limitation should be enforced by
libvirt/virt-install which knows what type of guest it installs/runs.
