Hi Pankaj,
Thanks for you reply. As far as I know, pc-dimm is a dimm device for memory 
hotplug, described as a "DIMM memory module" in "-device help". 
This device looks related to storage, so I put it into the "storage" category 
to make it easy to find. I'm not sure if this is appropriate, do you have any 
better ideas?
