Would anyone object if I raised the limit for PPC to 512 slots?
Would that cause problems on embedded PPC, for instance?

I can't think of any reason why it would cause problems. -Scott -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

In the long run we should really make this somehow dynamically instead. But as a first step, that should IMHO be fine. Question is whether we immediately need 512 on PPC, too? QEMU for x86 features 256 pluggable memory DIMM slots ("#define ACPI_MAX_RAM_SLOTS 256"), while PPC only has 32 ("#define SPAPR_MAX_RAM_SLOTS 32"). So maybe we are fine with less memory slots on PPC, e.g. 300 or so?

QEMU assumes 32 memslots if this extension is not implemented. Although, current value of KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS is 32, once KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS changes QEMU would take a wrong value.
