Let's discuss after the cleanup. In general I am not convinced this is
the right thing to do. Using virtio-pci for anything else than pure
transport smells like bad design to me (well, I am no virtio expert
after all ;) ). No matter what PCI bars were designed for. If we can't
get the same running with e.g. virtio-ccw or virtio-whatever, it is
broken by design (or an addon that is tightly glued to virtio-pci, if
that is the general idea).
