[Qemu-devel] [PULL v2 09/15] pc: count in 1Gb hugepage alignment when sizing hotplug-memory container

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

From: Igor Mammedov <address@hidden>

if DIMMs with different size/alignment are interleaved
in creation order, it could lead to hotplug-memory
container fragmentation and following inability to use
all RAM upto maxmem.
For example:
    -m 4G,slots=3,maxmem=7G
    -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-1,size=256M,mem-path=/pagesize-2MB
    -device pc-dimm,id=mem1,memdev=mem-1
    -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-2,size=1G,mem-path=/pagesize-1GB
    -device pc-dimm,id=mem2,memdev=mem-2
    -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-3,size=256M,mem-path=/pagesize-2MB
    -device pc-dimm,id=mem3,memdev=mem-3

fragments hotplug-memory container and doesn't allow
to use 1GB hugepage backend to consume remainig 1Gb.

To ease managment factor count in max 1Gb alignment for
each memory slot when sizing hotplug-memory region so
that regadless of fragmentaion it would be possible to
add max aligned DIMM.
