Zero. :)  Also because the only real change is in patch 4/4 (milkymist) 
which I only compile-tested.  In all other instances, using 
cpu_physical_memory_map_fast is just to make it clear that we don't want 
bounce buffers.

However, this is just preparatory work for vmw_pvscsi, which will use 
the functions to build its iovecs.  qemu_get_ram_ptr would not really be 
a satisfactory API for that.
