This explains how the glib functions work, but for the commit
description I suggest:
Commit 7267c0947d7e8ae5dff7bafd932c3bc285f43e5c ("Use glib memory
allocation and free functions") converted qemu_malloc() to g_malloc().
malloc(3) users were not converted since they didn't go through
qemu_malloc(). All heap memory allocation should go through glib so
we can take advantage of a single memory allocator and its
debugging/tracing features. Stop using malloc(3) directly.
