Commit10efd7e108"pc: acpi: fix memory hotplug regression by reducing stub SRAT entry size" attemped to fix hotplug regression introduced by848a1cc1e"hw/acpi-build: build SRAT memory affinity structures for DIMM devices" fixed issue for Windows/3.0+ linux kernels, however it regressed 2.6 based kernels (RHEL6) to the point where guest might crash at boot. Reason is that 2.6 kernel discards SRAT table due too small last entry which down the road leads to crashes. Hack I've tried in10efd7e108is also not ACPI spec compliant according to which whole possible RAM should be described in SRAT. Revert10efd7e108to fix regression for 2.6 based kernels. With10efd7e108reverted, I've also tried splitting SRAT table statically in different ways %/node and %/slot but Windows still fails to online 2nd pc-dimm hot-plugged into node 0 (as described in10efd7e108) and sometimes even coldplugged pc-dimms where affected with static SRAT partitioning. The only known so far way where Windows stays happy is when we have 1 SRAT entry in the last node covering all hotplug area. Revert848a1cc1euntil we come up with a way to avoid regression on Windows with hotplug area split in several entries. Tested this with 2.6/3.0 based kernels (RHEL6/7) and WS20[08/12/12R2/16]).
