Hi there.
I have a PVE up to date, with kernel 6.2.11-2-pve and with "options vhost max_mem_regions=509" enabled but still have the issue:

TASK ERROR: memory size (65536) must be aligned to 2048 for hotplugging

Incredible that we still face such problem.
The VM is a KVM Linux Centos 7 with kernel 6.3.3!

Any fix????

I cant understand why inside the OS show me roughly 52GB if I extend it to 64GB of memory. Where's the other 13G???
Attached you will found dmesg.txt with dmesg output from OS.
I got a lot of error and OOkill.... THat's bad! Pretty bad!
And the vm it very strange:

Need to shutdown the VM and give me "System is deadlock on memory". So I need to revert to 4G of ram in order to boot properly.
