I suppose it's accurate that this also affects VM-hotplugged memory,
which may not necessarily be "driver managed" in that regard. So it's
more accurate to just say "hotplugged memory" - although even that's not
quite completely accurate according to the definition in the docs.
Either way, will change it to "hotplugged memory".
Probably at the point where you have multiple sources affected by this
change, you need a udev/systemd setup anyway. We may have to revisit
this later, but I doubt it.
