Yes, the patches only use the new feature is -pflash is given on the
command line.  memory_region_set_readonly is only used in a few places,
so I think this series could go in; it is a fix for a TCG-mode regression.

I'm curious however if it causes -M isapc to regress, because in 1.4 it
works only in KVM mode, not in TCG mode.
