[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] exec/memory: Introduce memory_region_init_rom_device_


From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé
Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/3] exec/memory: Introduce memory_region_init_rom_device_from_file()
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2021 12:53:27 +0100

Introduce memory_region_init_rom_device_from_file() which mmap
the backing file of ROM devices. This allows to reduce QEMU memory
footprint as the same file can be shared between multiple instances
of QEMU.
