One example that may cause trouble is that
1/ Guest OS got a pointer to an ACPI table A on the source host (w/o nvdimm=on)
2/ After migrating to the destination host (w/ nvdimm=on), the
   location of ACPI table A is occupied by NFIT. If guest OS tries to
   access ACPI table A via the pointer in step 1/, then it will access
   the wrong table.

So far there is no public specification defining NVDIMM hotunplug, so
we didn't implement it.
