Adapted patch from Baojun Wang [1] with the following commit message:
I found this could be useful to have qemu-softmmu as a cross
debugger (launch with -s -S command line option), then if we can
have a command to load guest physical memory, we can use cross gdb
to do some target debug which gdb cannot do directly.
pmemload is necessary to directly write physical memory which is not
possible with gdb alone as it uses only logical addresses.
The QAPI for pmemload uses "val" as parameter name for the physical
address. This name is not very descriptive but is consistent with the
existing pmemsave. Changing the parameter name of pmemsave is not
possible without breaking the existing API.
