It's possible for address_space_get_flatview() as it currently stands
to cause a use-after-free for the returned FlatView, if the reference
count is incremented after the FlatView has been replaced by a writer:
thread 1 thread 2 RCU thread
-------------------------------------------------------------
rcu_read_lock
read as->current_map
set as->current_map
flatview_unref
'--> call_rcu
flatview_ref
[ref=1]
rcu_read_unlock
flatview_destroy
<badness>
Since FlatViews are not updated very often, we can just detect the
situation using a new atomic op atomic_fetch_inc_nonzero, similar to
Linux's atomic_inc_not_zero, which performs the refcount increment only if
it hasn't already hit zero. This is similar to Linux commit de09a9771a53
("CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead
credentials", 2010-07-29).

Developer documentation should be its own manual. As a start, move all
developer-oriented files to a separate directory.
Also move non-text files to their own directories: docs/config/ for
QEMU -readconfig input, and docs/spin/ for formal models to be used
with the SPIN model checker.
