[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 10/22] RISC-V: Hold rcu_read_lock when accessing memory

[Michael Clark]

>From reading other code that accesses memory regions directly,
it appears that the rcu_read_lock needs to be held. Note: the
original code for accessing RAM directly was added because
there is no other way to use atomic_cmpxchg easily.
