I believe the "uname -a" output shows that this issue was observed with
a custom, i.e. a non-Ubuntu, kernel. Could you confirm that the issue is
seen with an unmodified Ubuntu kernel?
Also, do you have a proposed (kernel?) patch that resolves this issue?
Thanks.

Title:
Only 64 Memory regions or dimms supported for Hotplug.

Description : Hotplug is supported only for 64 dimms and the same is
controlled by the sysfs parameter
# cat /sys/module/vhost/parameters/max_mem_regions
64
However qemu supports 256 slots max. In my opinion max_mem_regions
must be >= 256.
