Enable this to harden the device notifications and suppress
those that happen at a time where notifications are illegal.

may cause crashes or hangs when correct handling of
notifications is enforced; depending on the subset of
drivers and devices you use, this may or may not work.
This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory
devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.
- This driver was only tested under x86-64 and arm64, but should
- theoretically work on all architectures that support memory hotplug
- and hotremove.
+ This driver currently only supports x86-64 and arm64. Although it
+ should compile on other architectures that implement memory
+ hot(un)plug, architecture-specific and/or common
+ code changes may be required for virtio-mem, kdump and kexec to work as
+ expected.
