[PATCH v2 3/4] memory: Document update on replay()


From: Zhenzhong Duan
Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] memory: Document update on replay()
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 14:33:19 +0800

Currently replay() callback is declared to be exactly same semantics
as memory_region_iommu_replay().

Customed replay() may provide some extent of optimization depending on
notifier's type. E.g. intel_iommu, IOMMU_NOTIFIER_MAP is optimized to
provide only changed entries.

Clarify the semantics of replay() and provide more flexibility.
