Why not use 3.5GB and call it a day? It's safer for memory hotplug, if

The guest will never put a PCI BAR below that anyway.


My entire concern is that they will.

We're not just talking about Windows or Linux here, but any odd DOS application that's smart enough to switch into 32-bit mode, bootloaders, etc.

It's a significant behaviorial change that goes against the spec for no obviously good reason.


Okay, I'll update the patch.

Even if we supported hot plug, we could easily just hot plug above the 4GB mark.

Or change the PCI hole dynamically.
