If memory allocation fails when using -mem-path, QEMU is supposed to print
out a message to indicate that fallback to anonymous RAM is deprecated. This
is done with error_printf() which does output buffering. As a consequence,
the message is only printed at the next flush, eg. when quiting QEMU, and
it also lacks a trailing newline:

qemu-system-ppc64: unable to map backing store for guest RAM: Cannot allocate 
memory
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: falling back to regular RAM allocation
QEMU 4.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) q
This is deprecated. Make sure that -mem-path  specified path has sufficient 
resources to allocate -m specified RAM amountgreg@boss02:~/Work/qemu/qemu-spapr$

Add the missing \n to fix both issues.

Why is this an error_printf() and not an error_report()?


Because CODING_STYLE suggests to do so I guess:

Reporting errors to the human user
----------------------------------

Do not use printf(), fprintf() or monitor_printf().  Instead, use
error_report() or error_vreport() from error-report.h.  This ensures the
error is reported in the right place (current monitor or stderr), and in
a uniform format.

Use error_printf() & friends to print additional information. <===

error_report() prints the current location.  In certain common cases
like command line parsing, the current location is tracked
automatically.  To manipulate it manually, use the loc_``*``() from
error-report.h.

So I guess it's to not report the current location and the binary name .
