31  * MemoryDeviceClass:
32  *
33  * All memory devices need to implement TYPE_MEMORY_DEVICE as an interface.
34  *
35  * A memory device is a device that owns a memory region which is
36  * mapped into guest physical address space at a certain address. The
37  * address in guest physical memory can either be specified explicitly
38  * or get assigned automatically.
39  *
40  * Some memory device might not own a memory region in certain device
41  * configurations. Such devices can logically get (un)plugged, however,
42  * empty memory devices are mostly ignored by the memory device code.
43  *
44  * Conceptually, memory devices only span one memory region. If multiple
45  * successive memory regions are used, a covering memory region has to
46  * be provided. Scattered memory regions are not supported for single
47  * devices.
48  *
49  * The device memory region returned via @get_memory_region may either be a
50  * single RAM memory region or a memory region container with subregions
51  * that are RAM memory regions or aliases to RAM memory regions. Other
52  * memory regions or subregions are not supported.
53  *
54  * If the device memory region returned via @get_memory_region is a
55  * memory region container, it's supported to dynamically (un)map subregions
56  * as long as the number of memslots returned by @get_memslots() won't
57  * be exceeded and as long as all memory regions are of the same kind (e.g.,
58  * all RAM or all ROM).
