Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] mm: Add support for unaccepted memory hotplug
The unaccepted memory structure currently only supports accepting memory
present at boot time. The unaccepted table uses a fixed-size bitmap
reserved in memblock based on the initial memory layout, preventing
dynamic addition of memory ranges after boot. This causes guest
termination when memory is hot-added in a secure virtual machine due to
accessing pages that have not transitioned to private before use.
Extend the unaccepted memory framework to handle hotplugged memory by
dynamically managing the unaccepted bitmap. Allocate a new bitmap when
hotplugged ranges exceed the reserved bitmap capacity and switch to
kernel-managed allocation.
Hotplugged memory also follows the same acceptance policy using the
accept_memory=[eager|lazy] kernel parameter to accept memory either
up-front when added or before first use.
