[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 13/15] exec: use mmap for PhysPageMap->nodes

[Peter Lieven]

this was causing serious framentation in conjunction with the
subpages since RCU was introduced. The node space was allocated
at approx 32kB then reallocted to approx 75kB and this a few hundred
times at startup. And thanks to RCU the freeing was delayed.
