[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Memory: use memory address space for cpu-memory

[Anthony Xu]

If cpu-memory address space is same as memory address space,
use memory address space for cpu-memory address space.

any memory region change causeaddress space to rebuild PhysPageMap,
rebuilding PhysPageMap is very expensive.

removing cpu-memory address space reduces the guest boot time and
memory usage.
