Now I'm a bit confused about BAR here.

You're saying we will reserve a free BAR to address those information to
expose to guest, but which device does this free BAR belong to? The
video device? Or PCH/MCH?

The video device.  If the host device does not have the BAR (which will
be the common case), QEMU can emulate it like this:

According to some feedback, neither we have any unused PCI unused config offset, nor BAR.


- offsets 0x0000..0x0fff map to configuration space of the host MCH


Are you saying the config space in the video device? but will this overlap? Every PCIe device already have a 4K config space, right? So we should extend these two ranges:

0x0000..0x0fff: the standard PCIe config space in the video device
0x1000..0x1fff: map to configuration of the real host bridge
0x2000..0x2fff: map to configuration of the real ISA bridge

Right?

But as you know, we just need to expose a little config space from the real host bridge and the real ISA bridge, so this may be waste with 8K.

Thanks

- offsets 0x1000..0x1fff map to configuration space of the host PCH

Of course this is only limited to offsets that are needed by the driver.
