QEMU, haha.
What is the highest count of DIMM slots which are hotpluggable on a
real, *physical* system today? Are you saying you can have 1K DIMM slots
on a board?
I hardly doubt that.

Lemme see if I understand this correctly: when a system like that
crashes, you want to kdump *all* those 4TiB in a vmcore? How long would
that dump take to complete? A day?
IOW, how does a realistic use case of this look like - not a QEMU one?
Thx.
