[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv3 0/2] pc: Fix startup with memory hotplug enabled

[Peter Krempa]

Tweak error messages to make sense and add check to verify that maxmem_size is
properly aligned right away rather than just crashing afterwards.

Peter Krempa (2):
  vl.c: Fix error messages when parsing maxmem parameters
  pc: memory: Validate alignment of maxram_size to page size

[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv3 1/2] vl.c: Fix error messages when parsing maxmem parameters

[Peter Krempa]

Produce more human readable error messages and fix few spelling
mistakes.

Also remove a redundant check for the max memory size.

Notes:
    Version 3:
    - forgot a word in one of the error messages
    
    Version 2:
    - fixed spacing in error message
    - changed control flow to allow maxmem == ram_size in case slots == 0

[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv3 2/2] pc: memory: Validate alignment of maxram_size to page size

[Peter Krempa]

If the maxram_size is not aligned and dimm devices were added on the
command line qemu would terminate with a rather unhelpful message:

ERROR:hw/mem/pc-dimm.c:150:pc_dimm_get_free_addr: assertion failed:
(QEMU_ALIGN_UP(address_space_size, align) == address_space_size)

In case no dimm device was originally added on the commandline qemu
exits on the assertion failure.
