[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] exec: assert that RAMBlock size is non-zero

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

find_ram_offset() does not handle size=0 gracefully.  It hands out the
same RAMBlock offset multiple times, leading to obscure failures later
on.

Add an assert to warn early if something is incorrectly allocating a
zero size RAMBlock.
