On the qmp level, we already have the concept of memory devices:
"query-memory-devices"
Right now, we only support NVDIMM and PCDIMM.
We want to map other devices later into the address space of the guest.
Such device could e.g. be virtio devices. These devices will have a
guest memory range assigned but won't be exposed via e.g. ACPI. We want
to make them look like memory device, but not glued to pc-dimm.
Especially, it will not always be possible to have TYPE_PC_DIMM as a parent
class (e.g. virtio devices). Let's use an interface instead. As a first
part, convert handling of
- qmp_pc_dimm_device_list
- get_plugged_memory_size
to our new model. plug/unplug stuff etc. will follow later.
A memory device will have to provide the following functions:
- get_addr(): Necessary, as the property "addr" can e.g. not be used for
virtio devices (already defined).
- get_plugged_size(): The amount this device offers to the guest as of
now.
- get_region_size(): Because this can later on be bigger than the
plugged size.
- fill_device_info(): Fill MemoryDeviceInfo, e.g. for qmp.

Introduce "nvdimm" device which is based on pc-dimm device type
Currently, nothing is specific for nvdimm but hotplug is disabled

Each hotplug-able memory slot is a PCDIMMDevice.
A hot-add operation for a memory device:
- creates a new PCDIMMDevice and makes hotplug controller to map it into
guest address space
Hotplug operations are done through normal device_add commands.
For migration case, all hotplugged memory devices on source should be
specified on target's command line using '-device' option with
properties set to the same values as on source.
To simplify review, patch introduces only PCDIMMDevice QOM skeleton that
will be extended by following patches to implement actual memory hotplug
and related functions.
