Aaaand this is not memory, this is MMIO:


int kvm_cpu_exec(CPUState *cpu)
{
[...]
 case KVM_EXIT_MMIO:
     DPRINTF("handle_mmio\n");
     cpu_physical_memory_rw(run->mmio.phys_addr,
                            run->mmio.data,
                            run->mmio.len,
                            run->mmio.is_write);
     ret = 0;
     break;
