[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] exec.c: Allow memory region start_addr and region_offset to vary in low bits

[Peter Maydell]

Fix a long-standing deficiency of cpu_register_physical_memory_log()
where the start address and region offset had to have the same low
bits (otherwise the IO functions would be passed an incorrect address
offset). This was most likely to bite when registering memory regions
which started at a non-page-boundary.

This is such a small change to correct this issue that I'm kind of
suspicious of it :-)
