[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 02/13] Implement cpu_physical_memory_zero()

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

This patch adds cpu_physical_memory_zero() function.  This is equivalent to
calling cpu_physical_memory_write() with a buffer full of zeroes, but
avoids actually allocating such a buffer along the way.
