[pve-devel] [PATCH v6 qemu-server 06/10] memory: use 64 slots && static dimm size when max is defined

[Alexandre Derumier]

default kernel vhost config only support 64 slots by default,
for performance since 2015.

Original memory hotplug code was done before, using qemu
max supported 255 slots.

To reach max mem (4TB), we used incremental dimm size.

Instead of dynamic memory size, use 1 static dimm size, compute
from max memory/64.

We also force a static memory to 4GB, as memory under 4G don't
works fine with unplug
