[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2.1 00/28] Current state of NUMA series, and hostmem improvements

[Paolo Bonzini]

This series includes all the pending work on QOMifying the memory
backends.  Some of the patches posted so far didn't correctly build
all targets, so I'm posting it as the basis for further work
(including memory hotplug!).  It's available at branch numa on
my github repository.

To recap, the idea is to delegate all properties of the memory
backend to a new QOM class hierarchy, in which the concrete classes
are hostmem-ram and hostmem-file.  The backend is passed to the
machine via "-numa node,memdev=foo" where "foo" is the id of the
backend object.

Patches 1-6: generic numa improvements
Patches 7-8: convert -m to QemuOpts, from the memory hotplug series
Patches 9-11: improvements to object-add and -object
Patches 12-15: infrastructure for QOM memory backends
Patches 16-20: preparation for replacing -mem-path with a QOM backend
Patches 21-24: new-style replacement for -mem-path, -mem-prealloc and madvise
Patch 25: support for MAP_SHARED (requested by vhost-user)
Patches 26-28: rest of Wanlong Gao and Hu Tao's NUMA policy work

New patches are patch 9, patch 11, patches 16-25.  Please review
them.

Missing, needed before merge:
1. conversion to memory_region_allocate_system_memory of all boards
2. more documentation

Missing, nice to have:
1. improvements to string visitors for ranges
2. HMP "info memdev" command

If anyone wants to pick up management of this series from now on,
just shout.
