The vGIC emulation does not emulate I*ACTIVER* registers so far. But 
Linux only accesses them at boot to ensure the firmware didn't leave 
interrupt in active state. They are harmless for now.

I was expecting Stefano to answer here as he knows better than me this 
part of the code.

Linux is storing the conversion between pfn (guest frame number) to the 
mfn (machine frame number) in an RB-tree. This will be used by the 
swiotlb code to know if a buffer is contiguous in the physical RAM.

In your case, the log says that there was already a mapping pfn <-> mfn 
in the tree. It looks to me the previous mapping has not been removed 
correctly.

Are you able to reproduce this reliably? If so, can you try to figure 
out who added the first mapping pfn <-> mfn?

Cheers,
