It is nothing to do with hotplug.
Any memory has to be accepted before it can be used inside the TDX or
SEV-SNP guest. It can happen upfront, before kernel gets control (like by
firmware) or by kernel. The idea is to accept small portion of the memory
upfront and leave the rest to the kernel. The reason why delaying
acceptance make sense is boot time. We want the guest to start doing
useful stuff as fast as possible.
