[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/7] memory: optimize empty transactions due to mutators

[Avi Kivity]

The mutating memory APIs can easily cause empty transactions,
where the mutators don't actually change anything, or perhaps
only modify disabled regions.  Detect these conditions and
avoid regenerating the memory topology.
