This shares an cached empty FlatView among address spaces. The empty FV is used every time when a root MR renders into a FV without memory sections which happens when MR or its children are not enabled or zero-sized. The empty_view is not NULL to keep the rest of memory API intact; it also has a dispatch tree for the same reason. On POWER8 with 255 CPUs, 255 virtio-net, 40 PCI bridges guest this halves the amount of FlatView's in use (557 -> 260) and dispatch tables (~800000 -> ~370000). In an unrelated experiment with 112 non-virtio devices on x86 ("-M pc"), only 4 FlatViews are alive, and about ~2000 are created at startup. Signed-off-by:
