[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] rcu: reduce more than 7MB heap memory by malloc_trim() |

Since there are some issues in memory alloc/free machenism
in glibc for little chunk memory, if Qemu frequently
alloc/free little chunk memory, the glibc doesn't alloc
little chunk memory from free list of glibc and still
allocate from OS, which make the heap size bigger and bigger.
This patch introduce malloc_trim(), which will free heap memory.
Below are test results from smaps file.
