Hi,

This series is remotely connected with the "dynamic machine"
project. We need QOM objects created either from command line,
QMP or loaded by modules to NOT fail exiting the whole QEMU
process, but cleanly propagate any error before failing cleanly.

In preparation for that big goal, we start reworking a bit the
Memory API to be able to propagate all errors.

This targets the 9.0 release, but posting earlier to discuss with
Markus meanwhile.

Regards,

Phil.
