      Hierarchical memory region API · 093bc2cd
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      The memory API separates the attributes of a memory region (its size, how
      reads or writes are handled, dirty logging, and coalescing) from where it
      is mapped and whether it is enabled.  This allows a device to configure
      a memory region once, then hand it off to its parent bus to map it according
      to the bus configuration.
      
      Hierarchical registration also allows a device to compose a region out of
      a number of sub-regions with different properties; for example some may be
      RAM while others may be MMIO.
