[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 4/5] vhost: optimize out no-change assignment

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

Cirrus VGA (at least) calls register memory region
with the same values again and again. The
registration in vhost-net slows this a lot,
optimize by checking that the same data is already registered.
