BTW this is what qxl does, too, conceptually: on config writes, it peeks
at the bar to detect whether that got unmapped.

Can you elaborate? why? what does it do?

Nothing special, just keep track of the map state and toggle logging if needed, especially make sure to (re-)enable logging after the guest mapped the bar somewhere.

I'm pretty sure this can be killed during the conversion as the new memory slot manager will care about this so qxl doesn't has to.

cheers,
