Don't map the pmem and dmem RAM memory regions in the milkymist-softusb
device itself. Instead just expose them as sysbus mmio regions which
the device creator can map appropriately. This allows us to drop the
pmem_base and dmem_base properties. Instead of going via
cpu_physical_memory_read/_write when the device wants to access the
RAMs, we just keep a host pointer to the memory and use that.

I think it's best to avoid storing long-lived host pointers.  Ideally we
should have no long-lived host pointers anytime the thread is quiescent
(for CPUs that means kvm_cpu_exec or the end of qemu_tcg_wait_io_event;
for I/O that means select/poll).

Can you call memory_region_get_ram_ptr from the read/write functions?

I could, but does it buy us anything in particular? (alternatively,
what's the reason why we should avoid storing the host pointers?
We do it in a number of other devices...)

I find it more complex to reason about finer-grained locking
(particularly regarding the lifetimes) when you have object A storing
something into object B.  In practice it should be handled just fine by
reference counting, but I still find it harder to wrap my head around it.

But these memory regions belong to this device -- we own them and
they won't go away until the device is destroyed [which is never,
as it happens, for this device.] More generally, if it's valid
for us to hold a MemoryRegion* and call memory_region_get_ram_ptr()
in the read/write function, it's just as valid to keep the ram pointer:
the two have exactly matching lifetimes, unless I'm missing something.

(as an aside, memory_region_destroy() doesn't free the memory that
memory_region_init_ram() allocates.)

No, you're not: "In practice it should be handled just fine by reference
counting, but I still find it harder to wrap my head around it".

I'm still confused. Memory regions aren't reference counted.
We're the device, we own the MemoryRegion, we can happily
do whatever we like with it for the lifetime of the device.

I don't propose to change this patch for v2 of this series,
since there doesn't seem to be any need to do so.

Yes: reference counting of the device.
