[Qemu-devel] [PATCH qemu v4 13/18] memory: Do not allocate FlatView in address_space_init

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

This creates a new AS object without any FlatView as
memory_region_transaction_commit() may want to reuse the empty FV.

I do not really want to add view!=NULL into
flatview_ref()/flatview_unref() as this is quite special case when
view==NULL.
