[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/5] memory: add ref/unref interface for MemroyRegionOps

[Liu Ping Fan]

From: Liu Ping Fan <address@hidden>

This pair of interface are optinal, except for those device which is
used outside the biglock's protection for hot unplug. Currently,
HostMem used by virtio-blk dataplane is outside biglock, so the RAM
device should implement this.
