This is an old idea, I post last year,
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/164845
I rebase it, after Paolo's [PATCH 00/40] Memory-related changes sneak peek for
1.6
(Paolo's tree git://github.com/bonzini/qemu.git, branch iommu.)
Open issue--the dependency of MemoryListener
After diving into code and some discussion with Stefanha, I think
AddressSpace Listener has no direct dependency of kvm's
1st, c_p_m_rw is the link combinded the the two listeners, but guest raise
the rw emulated device's exception, not kvm
which means the real dependency lies between listener and guest.
2nd, orign code has violated the dependency, mem_begin() destroy the
radix-tree, which means regions disappear, but exist in kvm memslot

mem: make phys_section and phys_map_nodes prepared for RCU
mem: prepare address_space listener rcu style
