The two patchsets have some overlap, so it's good to find a design that fits both. > There is still the question of "how many hotpluggable dimm devices does this > memory range describe?".

One "-numa mem" option = one "-device dimm" option; both define one range. Unused memory ranges may remain if you stumble upon a unusable range such as the PCI window. For example two "-numa mem,size=2G" options would allocate memory from 0 to 2G and from 4 to 6G. I'm snipping the rest of the email because I hope this covers all your doubts. Paolo
