Ah, your understanding is correct, and the issue you point out I need to fix.
Specifically is only one of HOTPLUG_CPU or MEMORY_HOTPLUG is set, then I need
to allow a default for the other. Using the example you have above, there would
not be room for a single memory region, so I need to allow for a default number
of memory regions.

Good find!
