Hi Cam,

Thanks for the pointer. That makes perfect sense, I'm familiar with
PCI drivers so that's fine.

Is there a corresponding qemu patch for the backend to the guest pci
driver? I'm curious how the buffer memory is allocated and how BAR
accesses are handled from the host side.

Regards,
Stephen.
