We use the rom infrastructure to write firmware and/or initial kernel
blobs into guest address space. So we're basically emulating the cache
off phase on very early system bootup.
That phase is usually responsible for clearing the instruction cache for
anything it writes into cachable memory, to ensure that after reboot we
don't happen to execute stale bits from the instruction cache.
So we need to invalidate the icache every time we write a rom into guest
address space. We do not need to do this for every DMA since the guest
expects it has to flush the icache manually in that case.
This fixes random reboot issues on e5500 (booke ppc) for me.

After the next patch it would not be used elsewhere anyway. Also,
the _nofail and the standard versions of this function return different
things, which is confusing. Removing the function from the public headers
limits the confusion.

While not normally needed for *-user, it can safely be used there since
always based on uint64_t, to avoid ifdeffery.
To avoid accidental uses, move the guards from exec/hwaddr.h to its
inclusion sites. No need for them in include/hw/.
Prepares for hwaddr use in qom/cpu.h.

This is used during RDMA initialization in order to
transmit a description of all the RAM blocks to the
peer for later dynamic chunk registration purposes.

There is no reason to avoid a recompile before accessing unassigned
memory. In the end it will be treated as MMIO anyway.

It is never used, the IOTLB always goes through io_mem_notdirty.
In fact in softmmu_template.h, if it were, QEMU would crash just
below the tests, as soon as io_mem_read/write dispatches to
error_mem_read/write.
