Subject: PROBLEM: Power9: kernel oops on memory hotunplug from ppc64le guest

Hello,

On power9 host, performing memory hotunplug from ppc64le guest results 
in kernel oops.

Kernel used : https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/v5.1 built using 
ppc64le_defconfig for host and ppc64le_guest_defconfig for guest.

Recreation steps:

1. Boot a guest with below mem configuration:
   <maxMemory slots='32' unit='KiB'>33554432</maxMemory>
   <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory>
   <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory>
   <cpu>
     <numa>
       <cell id='0' cpus='0-31' memory='8388608' unit='KiB'/>
     </numa>
   </cpu>

2. From host hotplug 8G memory -> verify memory hotadded succesfully -> 
now reboot guest -> once guest comes back try to unplug 8G memory

mem.xml used:
<memory model='dimm'>
<target>
<size unit='GiB'>8</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
</memory>

Memory attach and detach commands used:
     virsh attach-device vm1 ./mem.xml --live
     virsh detach-device vm1 ./mem.xml --live

Trace seen inside guest after unplug, guest just hangs there forever:
