Thank you for the clarification. I think your patch is correct and
should be applied.


I was just wondering if it is possible to think of another scenario that
would trigger the same kind of bug calling several times
pt_reset_interrupt_and_io_mapping in ioemu, because it seems to me that
there is no xc_physdev_unmap_pirq call there if ptdev->machine_irq != 0.
