Prepare for multiple address space support by abstracting away the details
of registering a memory range with qemu's flat representation into an
AddressSpace object.
Note operations which are memory specific are not abstracted, since they will
never be called on I/O address spaces anyway.

get_system_memory() provides the root of the memory hierarchy.
This interface is intended to be private between memory.c and exec.c.
If this file is included elsewhere, it should be regarded as a bug (or
TODO item). However, it will be temporarily needed for the conversion
to hierarchical memory routing.

Simple implementations of memory routers, for example the Cirrus VGA memory banks
or the 440FX PAM registers can generate adjacent memory regions which are contiguous.
Detect these and merge them; this saves kvm memory slots and shortens lookup times.

Currently dirty tracking is implemented by passing through
all calls to the underlying cpu_physical_memory_*() calls.

The memory API separates the attributes of a memory region (its size, how
reads or writes are handled, dirty logging, and coalescing) from where it
is mapped and whether it is enabled. This allows a device to configure
a memory region once, then hand it off to its parent bus to map it according
to the bus configuration.
Hierarchical registration also allows a device to compose a region out of
a number of sub-regions with different properties; for example some may be
RAM while others may be MMIO.
