Hm, maybe we should cache the address and size of the PBA in
msix_capability_init().

But msixtbl_mmio_page_ops doesn't handle PBA array accesses at all, so
you won't interfere by accepting PBA writes here and dropping them in
msixtbl_page_write()?

Maybe there's some piece I'm missing.

Maybe, but let's leave that for another series I think.  Using
hvm_mmio_ops and register_mmio_handler() together with the slightly
simplified handlers will allow you to drop some of the code.

Hm, I'm not sure it works as I thought it does, so maybe not a good
suggestion after all.

Hm, OK, then you should also check that the return of
msix_get_fixmap() is strictly > 0, as right now it's using >= (and
thus would think 0 is a valid fixmap entry).

Thanks, Roger.
