Not quite.  Correct syntax would be attrs = (MemTxAttrs){ }.
I don't see that as an improvement over memset though.

Yes, that's right.  I've added some more detail here.

They're used as array indexes.  If we use "int", the compiler keeps
re-extending the value.

It seems easier than setting 9 fields separately...

Computation of remaining bytes in the page:

    -(x | TARGET_PAGE_MASK)
  = -(x | -TARGET_PAGE_SIZE)
  = TARGET_PAGE_SIZE - (x & -TARGET_PAGE_SIZE)

We use this all over qemu.
