[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 03/21] bochs: Handle failure for potentially large allocations

[Kevin Wolf]

Some code in the block layer makes potentially huge allocations. Failure
is not completely unexpected there, so avoid aborting qemu and handle
out-of-memory situations gracefully.

This patch addresses the allocations in the bochs block driver.
