I was meaning it applies only if it shares the page, but indeed it
should be "will".

For this, I need to save exact offset to PBA. I can extend the patch for
that case too.

Makes sense indeed.

This is a double check if pdev->msix->table.last value is correct,
because I have two ways of calculating the address. Now, that I've
written this sentence, I see the way table_end_addr is calculated is
wrong, as it ignores table table not starting at the page boundary. I'll
remove both above lines.

Ok, will reduce.

Right.

I was considering that, but decided against exactly because of
msix_get_fixmap() reusing existing mappings.

I have considered that, but decided against given every single device I
tried have MSI-X table at the page boundary. But if you prefer, I can
add such handling too (will require adding another variable to the
arch_msix structure - to store the fixmap location).

Ok.

The issue is correlating BAR mapping location with guest's view.
Writable BAR areas are mapped (by qemu) via xc_domain_memory_mapping(), but
that fails for read-only pages (and indeed, qemu doesn't attempt to do
that for the pages with the MSI-X table). Lacking that, I need to use
msixtbl_entry->gtable, which is HVM-only thing.

In fact there is another corner case I don't handle here: guest
accessing those registers when MSI-X is disabled. In that case, there is
no related msixtbl_entry, so I can't correlate the access, but the
page(s) is still read-only, so direct mapping would fail. In practice,
such access will trap into qemu, which will complain "Should not
read/write BAR through QEMU". I have seen this happening several times
when developing the series (due to bugs in my patches), but I haven't
found any case where it would happen with the final patch version.
In fact, I have considered handling this whole thing via qemu (as it
knows better where BAR live from the guest PoV), but stubdomain still
don't have write access to that pages, so that would need to be trapped
(for the second time) by Xen anyway.

For the PV case, I think this extra translation wouldn't be necessary as
BAR are mapped at their actual location, right? But then, it makes it
rather different implementation (separate feature), than just having a
common one for PV and HVM.

The page not being mapped is also the reason why I do need to handle
reads too.
