While trying to fix TCG so I can properly detect memory in kvm-unit-tests ... looks like I accidentally made memory hotplug under TCG work (whoops).

This is different compared to all other architectures. E.g. when booting Fedora 27, it will simply hotplug and add all memory. This doesn't make any sense in the context of VMs where you want to be able to control from the outside, when and how much more memory is given to a VM. But anyhow, seems to work ...
