Just for the record - top of the series somehow fixed mysterious guest
memory corruption issue described in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg03117.html
which existed right from a moment of a memory hotplug introduction, I
checked series for its disappearance only with vhost for now.  Thanks
Igor!
