 *
 * All memory devices need to implement TYPE_MEMORY_DEVICE as an interface.
 *
 * A memory device is a device that owns a memory region which is
 * mapped into guest physical address space at a certain address. The
 * address in guest physical memory can either be specified explicitly
 * or get assigned automatically.
 *
 * Conceptually, memory devices only span one memory region. If multiple
 * successive memory regions are used, a covering memory region has to
 * be provided. Scattered memory regions are not supported for single
 * devices.
 *
 * The device memory region returned via @get_memory_region may either be a
 * single RAM memory region or a memory region container with subregions
 * that are RAM memory regions or aliases to RAM memory regions. Other
 * memory regions or subregions are not supported.
 *
 * If the device memory region returned via @get_memory_region is a
 * memory region container, it's supported to dynamically (un)map subregions
 * as long as the number of memslots returned by @get_memslots() won't
 * be exceeded and as long as all memory regions are of the same kind (e.g.,
 * all RAM or all ROM).

 * Traditionally, KVM/vhost in many setups supported 509 memslots, whereby
 * 253 memslots were "reserved" for boot memory and other devices (such
 * as PCI BARs, which can get mapped dynamically) and 256 memslots were
 * dedicated for DIMMs. These magic numbers worked reliably in the past.
 *
 * Further, using many memslots can negatively affect performance, so setting
 * the soft-limit of memslots used by memory devices to the traditional
 * DIMM limit of 256 sounds reasonable.
 *
 * If we have less than 509 memslots, we will instruct memory devices that
 * support automatically deciding how many memslots to use to only use a single
 * one.
 *
 * Hotplugging vhost devices with at least 509 memslots is not expected to
 * cause problems, not even when devices automatically decided how many memslots
 * to use.
