2c3579ab07 memory: Fix memory_region_wrong_endianness()
Since commit be675c9720 (memory: move
endianness compensation to memory core) it was checking for
TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN instead of TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN, thereby not
swapping correctly for Big Endian targets.

26a83ad0e7 memory: remove MemoryRegion::backend_registered
backend_registered was used to lazify the process of registering an
mmio region, since the it is different for the I/O address space and
the memory address space.  However, it also makes registration dependent
on the region being visible in the address space.  This is not the case
for "fake" regions, like watchpoints or IO_MEM_UNASSIGNED.

Remove backend_registered and always initialize the region.  If it turns
out to be part of the I/O address space, we've wasted an I/O slot, but
that's not too bad.  In any case this will be optimized later on.

c5705a7728 vmstate, memory: decouple vmstate from memory API
Currently creating a memory region automatically registers it for
live migration.  This differs from other state (which is enumerated
in a VMStateDescription structure) and ties the live migration code
into the memory core.

Decouple the two by introducing a separate API, vmstate_register_ram(),
for registering a RAM block for migration.  Currently the same
implementation is reused, but later it can be moved into a separate list,
and registrations can be moved to VMStateDescription blocks.

d2963631dd Fix subtle integer overflow bug in memory API
It is quite common to have a MemoryRegion with size of INT64_MAX.
When processing alias regions in render_memory_region() it's quite
easy to find a case where it will construct a temporary AddrRange with
a non-zero start, and size still of INT64_MAX.  When means attempting
to compute the end of such a range as start + size will result in
signed integer overflow.

This integer overflow means that addrrange_intersects() can
incorrectly report regions as not intersecting when they do.  For
example consider the case of address ranges {0x10000000000,
0x7fffffffffffffff} and {0x10010000000, 0x10000000} where the second
is in fact included completely in the first.

This patch rearranges addrrange_intersects() to avoid the integer
overflow, correcting this behaviour.

8417cebfda memory: use signed arithmetic
When trying to map an alias of a ram region, where the alias starts at
address A and we map it into address B, and A > B, we had an arithmetic
underflow.  Because we use unsigned arithmetic, the underflow converted
into a large number which failed addrrange_intersects() tests.

The concrete example which triggered this was cirrus vga mapping
the framebuffer at offsets 0xc0000-0xc7fff (relative to the start of
the framebuffer) into offsets 0xa0000 (relative to system addres space
start).

With our favorite analogy of a windowing system, this is equivalent to
dragging a subwindow off the left edge of the screen, and failing to clip
it into its parent window which is on screen.

Fix by switching to signed arithmetic.

1c0ffa58af Internal interfaces for memory API
get_system_memory() provides the root of the memory hierarchy.

This interface is intended to be private between memory.c and exec.c.
If this file is included elsewhere, it should be regarded as a bug (or
TODO item).  However, it will be temporarily needed for the conversion
to hierarchical memory routing.

3d8e6bf977 memory: merge adjacent segments of a single memory region
Simple implementations of memory routers, for example the Cirrus VGA memory banks
or the 440FX PAM registers can generate adjacent memory regions which are contiguous.
Detect these and merge them; this saves kvm memory slots and shortens lookup times.

5a58334769 memory: implement dirty tracking
Currently dirty tracking is implemented by passing through
all calls to the underlying cpu_physical_memory_*() calls.

093bc2cd88 Hierarchical memory region API
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.
