r91 - trunk/qemu-0.11.0

Author: stepan
Date: 2009-12-13 00:43:38 +0100 (Sun, 13 Dec 2009)
New Revision: 91

Modified:
   trunk/qemu-0.11.0/softmmu_template.h
Log:
It would appear that not returning in case a store is supposed to be filtered
would be a bad thing. It is not, because the filter only runs reliably in case
the memory region is IO_MEM_UNASSIGNED, so letting the write through is a NOP.
