Changes v2 to v3:

     Adjust for code readability #4 "xen-all: Pass max_ram_below_4g to 
xen_hvm_init."
        Set max_ram_below_4g always and use it to calculate above_4g_mem_size,
        below_4g_mem_size.

Changes v1 to v2:
   Michael S. Tsirkin:
     Rename option.
     Only add it to machine types that support it.
   Split into 4 parts.

1/4 -- xen-all: Fix xen_hvm_init() to adjust pc memory layout

   This looks to be a possible bug that has yet to be found.
   below_4g_mem_size and above_4g_mem_size are stored in PcGuestInfo
   (pc_guest_info_init) which are currently not "correct".  This and
   4/4 change the same lines.

2/4 -- GlobalProperty: Display warning about unused -global

     My testing showed that setting a global property on an object
     that is not used is not reported at all.  This is added to help
     when the new global is set but not used.  The negative not_used
     was picked so that all static objects are assumed to be used
     even when they are not.

3/4 -- pc & q35: Add new object pc-memory-layout

   The objects that it might make sense to add this property to all
   get created too late.  So add a new object just to hold this
   property.  Name it so that it is expected that only pc (and q35)
   machine types support it.

4/4 -- xen-all: Pass max_ram_below_4g to xen_hvm_init

   Seprate the xen only part of the change.  Currectly based on patch 1/4

Don Slutz (4):
   xen-all: Fix xen_hvm_init() to adjust pc memory layout.
   GlobalProperty: Display warning about unused -global
   pc & q35: Add new object pc-memory-layout.
   xen-all: Pass max_ram_below_4g to xen_hvm_init.

Andreas, could you review pls, esp patch 2?
Michael, I don't see a dependency of the later patches on 2/4, so I'd
like to split that one out of this series and reiterate.
I am happy to split out 2/4.
I'm waiting for a repost or did I misunderstand?

Sorry about that.  No you did not misunderstand.  I was looking into how to do
patches 3 & 4.  Also I was still thinking about points that Andreas Färber had
stated.

I should be sending one out soon.

   -Don Slutz

I'll have some minor comments on the rest.

Don, in general please do not end subjects with a dot.
Ok, will attempt to do so.

    -Don Slutz

CC'ing Eduardo and Igor who looked into 4G issues previously.

Regards,
Andreas
