This is useful for when a user of the memory region API needs to
communicate the absolute bus address to something outside QEMU
(in particular, KVM).

TODO: Use add/del memory listeners later in the patchset, which would

Yes, please do.

A MemoryRegion can appear in more than one AddressSpace (or none at all),
so I don't think this is a very clearly defined API to put in the
memory API itself. (It's ok to make that kind of assumption as a user
of the memory APIs for particular cases, eg in how a memory listener
callback function behaves. But we shouldn't be baking those assumptions
into new API functions.)

thanks

memory_region_to_address_space() is an internal function used by
a couple of functions -- it's passed "a top level (ie parentless)
region", not an arbitrary region [semantically, anyway].

Yes, I had aliases in mind. Ignoring aliases isn't really very
doable since you can't control whether somebody else has taken
an alias of you.
