Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] pam: setup pc.bios

I tried to set pc.bios as read-only and isa.bios as read&write,
it doesn't work. render_memory_region doesn't honor readonly
field of alias MemoryRegion. 

Two FlatRanges created for pc.bios and isa.bios point to the same
MemoryRegion pc.bios. Both get readonly from pc.bios.

Is this a bug or by design?

Pc.bios and isa.bios are backed by the same memory block,
so it may cause CPU TLB alias, any issue here?
