Hello David, thanks for your feedback.

I understand, but trying to reduce resource footprint in host, and
mostly failing is what causes hot-add and hot-remove to take so long.

This batching is something I had thought a lot about.
Problem is that there are a lot of generic interfaces between memory
hotplug and actually resizing HPT. I tried a simpler approach in
patches 2 & 3, so I don't touch much stuff there.

Best regards,
