[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 03/18] dataplane: add host memory mapping code

2013-01-02 Thread Stefan Hajnoczi
The data plane thread needs to map guest physical addresses to host pointers. Normally this is done with cpu_physical_memory_map() but the function assumes the global mutex is held. The data plane thread does not touch the global mutex and therefore needs a thread-safe memory mapping mechanism.
