+Subject: [PATCH] qemu: align before memory hotplug on arm64
+
+When hotplug memory on arm64 in kata, kernel will shout:
+
+[ 0.396551] Block size [0x40000000] unaligned hotplug range: start 0xc8000000, size 0x40000000
+[ 0.396556] acpi PNP0C80:01: add_memory failed
+[ 0.396834] acpi PNP0C80:01: acpi_memory_enable_device() error
+[ 0.396948] acpi PNP0C80:01: Enumeration failure
+
+It means that kernel will check if the memory range to be hotplugged
+align with 1G before plug the memory. So we should twist the qemu to
+make sure the memory range align with 1G to pass the kernel check.
