It was not obvious to me why "qemu/osdep.h" must be the first #include.
This documents the rationale and the overall #include order.

It seems like there's no good reason for the compiler to exploit the
undefinedness of left shifts. GCC explicitly documents that they do not
use at all this possibility and, while they also say this is subject
to change, they have been saying this for 10 years (since the wording
appeared in the GCC 4.0 manual).
Disable these warnings by passing in -Wno-shift-negative-value.

Add a section to HACKING saying which version of the C spec
we use and describing the bits of implementation defined C
compiler behaviour which C code in QEMU is allowed to rely on.

target_phys_addr_t is unwieldly, violates the C standard (_t suffixes are
reserved) and its purpose doesn't match the name (most target_phys_addr_t
addresses are not target specific). Replace it with a finger-friendly,
standards conformant hwaddr.
Outstanding patchsets can be fixed up with the command
git rebase -i --exec 'find -name "*.[ch]"
| xargs s/target_phys_addr_t/hwaddr/g' origin

Clarify the allocation/free recommendations; this is mostly
just tidying up following the global-search-and-replace done
with the conversion to the GLib g_malloc and friends.

Hopefully all functions with printf like arguments now use format checking.
This was tested with default build configuration on linux
and windows hosts (including some cross compilations),
so chances are good that there remain few (if any) functions
without format checking.
Therefore the last comment in HACKING is no longer valid but misleading.
