Notify registered listeners about the remap at the end of
qemu_ram_remap() so e.g., a memory backend can re-apply its
settings correctly.

IIUC logically speaking we don't need a global remap notifier - here a
per-ramblock notifier looks more reasonable, like RAMBlock.resized().

Right. Note that qemu_ram_resize() also triggers global notifiers.

It'll change the notify path from O(N**2) to O(N).  After all, backend1's
notifier won't care other ramblock's remap() events but only itself's.

It's not a huge deal as I expect we don't have a huge amount of ramblocks,
but looks like this series will miss the recent pull anyway..  so let me
comment as so on this one for consideration when respin.

... and ram remap during reboot is not particularly the fast path we care about (or should be caring about).


We could also merge partial of the series to fix hugetlb poisoning first,
as this one looks like can be separately done too.

hugetlb frequently uses preallocation, and the remaining patches in this series make sure preallocation after remapping happens.
