Right, but you still need those regions to not be mapped on the second
stage translation, or else no trap will be triggered and thus the
handlers won't run?

Regardless of whether the way to register the handlers is different on
Arm and x86, you still need to assure that the MSI-X related tables
are not mapped on the guest second stage translation, or else you are
just allowing guest access to the native ones.

So you do need this function on Arm in order to prevent hardware MSI-X
tables being accessed by the guest. Or are you suggesting it's
intended for Arm guest to access the native MSI-X tables?

Thanks, Roger.
