It's not just the actual hotplugged memory, it's things like how the
e820 tables were laid out for the _regular_ non-hotplug stuff too,
iirc to get the cases where something didn't work out.

I'm sure it *could* be emulated, and I'm sure some hotplug (and page
poison errors etc) testing in qemu would be lovely and presumably some
people do it, but all the cases so far have been about odd small
special cases that people didn't think of and didn't hit. I'm not sure
the qemu testing would think of them either..
