Subject: [PULL 27/34] Memory: Enable writeback for given memory region
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 11:08:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191216110904.30815-28-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191216110904.30815-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org>

From: Beata Michalska <beata.michalska@linaro.org>

Add an option to trigger memory writeback to sync given memory region
with the corresponding backing store, case one is available.
This extends the support for persistent memory, allowing syncing on-demand.
