[Qemu-devel] [PATCH repost 1/4] oslib: rework anonimous RAM allocation

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

At the moment we first allocate RAM, sometimes more than necessary for
alignment reasons.  We then free the extra RAM.

Rework this to avoid the temporary allocation: reserve the
range by mapping it with PROT_NONE, then use just the
necessary range with MAP_FIXED.
