From e987c37aee1752177906847630d32477da57e705 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haozhong Zhang Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 19:56:51 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] hw/i386: check if nvdimm is enabled before plugging The missing of 'nvdimm' in the machine type option '-M' means NVDIMM is disabled. QEMU should refuse to plug any NVDIMM device in this case and report the misconfiguration. The behavior of NVDIMM on unsupported platform (HW/FW) is vendor specific. For some vendors, it's undefined and the platform may do anything. Thus, I think QEMU is free to choose the implementation. Aborting QEMU (i.e. refusing to boot) is the easiest one.
