[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 8/8] qemu: numa

[Christian Pinto <c.pinto@virtualopensystems.com>]

This patch modifies the behavior of
memory_region_allocate_system_memory, when the new shared memory backend
is used from a slave qemu instance.
In such case there is not yet a valid pointer for the memory region pointed
by the backend (it will be innitilized later when received from the master.)
and vmstate_register would fail.

The patch skips the call to vmstate_register in case of slave shared memory
backend, that will be performed later after the actual memory pointer is
available.
