My understanding last time I looked at this, is that it is as easy
basically to change the interface to work on pages, not on addresses.
I looked at the interface from the point of view of migration, and I
always needed a "page". My understanding at the time was that every
caller could be change to use a page instead, but that is another set of
"unfinished" patches on my ToDo list.
Actually, what I found what I needed was that I wanted a pointer to the
ram_block on that functions. Migration and vga were simple to fix, but
TCG got me completely lost :-(, and at that point I moved to someting else.
Will try to think what were my problems later today.
Later, Juan.
