[PATCH] hw/display/cg3: Fix crash when introspecting cgthree from the CLI
Posted by Thomas Huth 2 weeks, 6 days ago
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

QEMU currently crashes when introspecting the cgthree device from the
command line interface:

 $ ./qemu-system-sparc -device cgthree,help
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens because the memory_region_init_rom() function internally
calls qemu_ram_alloc_internal() that needs the current_machine pointer
to be set up - which is not the case here since the machine has not
been created yet.

There does not seem to be a compelling reason for initializing the
memory regions from the instance_init function, so let's simply move
the code into the realize() function instead to fix this issue.
