- Deprecate the 'raspi4b' machine name, renaming it as 'raspi4b-1g' on 32-bit hosts, 'raspi4b-2g' otherwise. - Add the 'raspi4b-4g' and 'raspi4b-8g' machines, with respectively 4GB and 8GB of DRAM.
IMHO (meaning you can ignore it, just my opinion) if the only difference is the memory size -machine raspi4b -memory 4g would be better user experience than having a lot of different machines.
Yes, I think I agree. We have a way for users to specify how much memory they want, and I think it makes more sense to use that than to have lots of different machine types.
I guess for the Pi we should validate the -memory supplied is on of the supported grid of devices rather than an arbitrary value?
If the user wants to create a rpi4 with 6 GB RAM why should we stop them ? It is their choice if they want to precisely replicate RAM size from a physical model, or use something different when virtualized.
