[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vga: fix vram double-mapping with -vga std and -M pc-0.12

[Avi Kivity]

With pc-0.12, we map the video RAM both through the PCI BAR (the guest does
this) and through a fixed mapping at 0xe0000000.  The memory API doesn't allow
this double map, and aborts.

Fix by using an alias.

This appears to work now, at least with -M pc-0.12 -vga std, a win7 guest
boots and works (before qemu were aborting at startup).  So you can add

if necessary.  Thank you for the quick fix!

Ping; should be 1.1ed.
