pc_init1()
  pc_memory_init()
    pc_system_firmware_init()
      pc_system_flash_init() <---- sets base address to
                                   0x100000000ULL - flash_size
        pflash_cfi01_register()
          sysbus_mmio_map()
            sysbus_mmio_map_common()
              memory_region_add_subregion()
  i440fx_init()
    memory_region_init_alias("pci-hole")

pc_init1() passes

    0x100000000ULL - below_4g_mem_size

to i440fx_init() as "pci_hole_size", which is then used as the size of
the "pci-hole" alias.

We should probably subtract the size of the flash from this, but I don't
know how to do that "elegantly". Yet another (output) parameter for
pc_memory_init()? Blech.

Or look up the end address of "system.flash" by name?

Thanks
