+ * Each virtio-mem device manages a dedicated region in physical address
+ * space. Each device can belong to a single NUMA node, multiple devices
+ * for a single NUMA node are possible. A virtio-mem device is like a
+ * "resizable DIMM" consisting of small memory blocks that can be plugged
+ * or unplugged. The device driver is responsible for (un)plugging memory
+ * blocks on demand.
+ *
+ * Virtio-mem devices can only operate on their assigned memory region in
+ * order to (un)plug memory. A device cannot (un)plug memory belonging to
+ * other devices.
+ *
+ * The "region_size" corresponds to the maximum amount of memory that can
+ * be provided by a device. The "size" corresponds to the amount of memory
+ * that is currently plugged. "requested_size" corresponds to a request
+ * from the device to the device driver to (un)plug blocks. The
+ * device driver should try to (un)plug blocks in order to reach the
+ * "requested_size". It is impossible to plug more memory than requested.
+ *
+ * The "usable_region_size" represents the memory region that can actually
+ * be used to (un)plug memory. It is always at least as big as the
+ * "requested_size" and will grow dynamically. It will only shrink when
+ * explicitly triggered (VIRTIO_MEM_REQ_UNPLUG).
+ *
+ * There are no guarantees what will happen if unplugged memory is
+ * read/written. Such memory should, in general, not be touched. E.g.,
+ * even writing might succeed, but the values will simply be discarded at
+ * random points in time.
+ *
+ * It can happen that the device cannot process a request, because it is
+ * busy. The device driver has to retry later.
+ *
+ * Usually, during system resets all memory will get unplugged, so the
+ * device driver can start with a clean state. However, in specific
+ * scenarios (if the device is busy) it can happen that the device still
+ * has memory plugged. The device driver can request to unplug all memory
+ * (VIRTIO_MEM_REQ_UNPLUG) - which might take a while to succeed if the
+ * device is busy.
