Right now, we only allow for writing to memory regions that allow direct
access using memcpy etc; all other writes are simply ignored. This
implies that debugging guests will not work as expected when writing
to MMIO device regions.
Let's extend cpu_memory_rw_debug() to write to more memory regions,
including MMIO device regions. Reshuffle the condition in
memory_access_is_direct() to make it easier to read and add a comment.
While this change implies that debug access can now also write to MMIO
devices, we now are also permit ELF image loads and similar users of
cpu_memory_rw_debug() to write to MMIO devices; currently we ignore
these writes.
Peter assumes [1] that there's probably a class of guest images, which
will start writing junk (likely zeroes) into device model registers; we
previously would silently ignore any such bogus ELF sections. Likely
these images are of questionable correctness and this can be ignored. If
ever a problem, we could make these cases use address_space_write_rom()
instead, which is left unchanged for now.
This patch is based on previous work by Stefan Zabka.
