Please use the virtio-mem-v4 branch for now, v5 is still under
construction (and might be scrapped completely if v4 goes upstream as is).

Looks like a DMA issue. Your're hotplugging 1GB, which should not really
eat too much memory. There was a similar issue reported by Hui in [1],
which boiled down to wrong usage of the swiotlb parameter.

In such cases you should always try to reproduce with hotplug of a
sam-sized DIMM. E.g., hotplugging a 1GB DIMM should result in the same
issue.

What does your .config specify for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE?

I'll try to reproduce with v4 briefly.
