1. different approaches to handle some critical chipset-specific
   registers (MCH PCIEXBAR first of all), currently emulated by
   QEMU. Role of QEMU in the emulation of MMCONFIG accesses.

2. MMIO hole sizing in general (for HVM) -- in which PT usecases this is
   needed, requirements, limitations. It is related to the emulated
   chipset-specific resources and depends on the chosen solution for #1.

I'll try to describe different possible implementations how to make the
multiple PCI device emulators feature compatible with emulated MMCONFIG
before the meeting, to have a ground for discussion. There are at least
3 possible directions currently to solve this problem.
