This somewhat controversial patchset converts internal arithmetic in the
memory API to 128 bits.
It has been argued that with careful coding we can make 64-bit work as
well. I don't think this is true in general - a memory router can
adjust
addresses either forwards or backwards, and some buses (PCIe) need the
full 64-bit space - though it's probably the case for all the
configurations
we support today. Regardless, the need for careful coding means
subtle bugs,
which I don't want in a core API that is driven by guest supplied
values.

Add support for 128-bit arithmetic
memory: use 128-bit integers for sizes and intermediates
Adjust system and pci address spaces to full 64-bit
I now notice that this is not a PULL request... Did you mess up the
subject or the pull request?
I forgot to supply the pull info, which is:
git://github.com/avikivity/qemu.git memory/int128
Pulled. Thanks.
