[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/2] mem: prepare address_space listener rcu style

[Liu Ping Fan]

From: Liu Ping Fan <address@hidden>

Each address space listener has PhysPageMap *cur_map, *next_map,
the switch from cur_map to next_map complete the RCU style. The
mem_commit() do the switch, and it is against reader but AddressSpace's
lock or later RCU mechanism (around address_space_translate() ).
