Re: [Qemu-devel] PCI 64-bit BAR access with qemu

[Francois WELLENREITER]

Hi Max,

thank you for your answer. Actually, I hadn't confused.
I already thought to your proposal but I found that it was a really ugly 
solution (essentially because of the uint32_t to uint64_t silent 
conversion).
Isn't there any other (current or future) development that may fix it ?
