The overall idea looks good but I think you should consider using
a thread pool to implement it. See below.
I am not convinced, however. Specifically, attaching this to the DRC
doesn't make sense to me. We're adding exactly one DRC related async
hcall, and I can't really see much call for another one. We could
have other async hcalls - indeed we already have one for HPT resizing
- but attaching this to DRCs doesn't help for those.
The semantics of the hcall made me think, if this is going to be
re-usable for future if implemented at DRC level. Other option
is to move the async-hcall-state/list into the NVDIMMState structure
in include/hw/mem/nvdimm.h and handle it with machine->nvdimms_state
at a global level.
Hope you are okay with using the pool based approach that Greg
suggested.
Please let me know.
