[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] memory: allow MemoryRegion's priority field to accept negative values

[Marcel Apfelbaum]

Priority is used to make visible some subregions by obscuring
the parent MemoryRegion addresses overlapping with the subregion.

By allowing the priority to be negative the opposite can be done:
Allow a subregion to be visible on all the addresses not covered
by the parent MemoryRegion or other subregions.

Changes from v3:
 - Addressed Peter Maydell comments
   - Removed unnecessary changes to priority of MemoryListener
   - Ensured that priority is now signed in all related places
