Avoid address_space_rw() with a constant is_write argument
The address_space_rw() function allows either reads or writes depending on the is_write argument passed to it; this is useful when the direction of the access is determined programmatically (as for instance when handling the KVM_EXIT_MMIO exit reason). Under the hood it just calls either address_space_write() or address_space_read_full(). We also use it a lot with a constant is_write argument, though, which has two issues: * when reading "address_space_rw(..., 1)" this is less immediately clear to the reader as being a write than "address_space_write(...)" * calling address_space_rw() bypasses the optimization in address_space_read() that fast-paths reads of a fixed length This commit was produced with the included Coccinelle script scripts/coccinelle/exec_rw_const.cocci.
