Thanks for your reply, Paul.

Well, but the old HEMMEM type does not exist anymore, and it is not old
behavior with patch3 accepted. Will it be more reasonable if all 3 these
patches are accepted in next version, 4.8 or 4.7.1 if there's one?

One reason I hesitate to remove the old p2m_mmio_write_dm (which is 0xf
IIRC), and define p2m_ioreq_server another value(say, 0x10), is that
what if another future p2m type is introduced with this value(0xf)?
That would also be weird…

By "old code", you mean old interface on new hypervisor, or both?
