[Qemu-devel] [PATCH][FYI] Remove address masking for non-Sparc hardware

[Blue Swirl]

Hi,

As the address supplied to MMIO functions is now an offset, some of
the address masking can be removed. I did this for Sparc, this patch
removes most of the remaining ones.

I tried to check that the size of the area registered matches the
removed mask size, the area size is static and the function is not
used also for IO port access which uses absolute port numbers. In
RTL8139 case the common function performs the operation.

I have not tested the patch otherwise, so I won't apply it but offer
the patch for testing and cherry picking.
