[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] hostmem: introduce host_memory_backend_mr_inited()

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

We were checking this against memory region size of host memory
backend's mr field to see whether the mr has been inited. This is
efficient but less elegant. Let's make a helper for it to avoid
confusions, along with some notes.
