That's not quite the way we're modelling it yet as shown by Avi above,
there is no CPU address space, only a "system" address space.
The way we're modelling it today is shoving everything into a global
machine-level adress space which many devices access themselves via
get_system_memory() and get_system_io() because there's no easy way to
pass it to them except for exposing their struct and setting a field
before qdev_init_nofail().
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=hw/ppc_prep.c;h=be2b26830deed1f728c01aa8f0582b63540919a8;hb=HEAD#l588
Can't each CPUState get a MemoryRegion for its CPU address space, which
then can have subregions/aliases for the one system_memory with its
subregions for PCI host bridge etc.? Then there's no need any more to
have a cpu_physical_memory_rw(), is there?
Cheers,
Andreas
