The memory API separates the attributes of a memory region (its size, how reads or writes are handled, dirty logging, and coalescing) from where it
is mapped and whether it is enabled. This allows a device to configure
a memory region once, then hand it off to its parent bus to map it according
to the bus configuration.

Hierarchical registration also allows a device to compose a region out of a number of sub-regions with different properties; for example some may be
RAM while others may be MMIO.

stdbool.h is already included in qemu-common.h,
stdint.h (indirectly) too.

Therefore both include statements can be removed.

We shouldn't rely on indirect includes, it makes updating headers very hard. Each header should #include what it directly needs and no more.

Is it possible to move this private declaration into the implementation
file (or a private header file if the declaration is needed by more than
one file)?


No, the structure size is needed by clients.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
