It changes the second DMA window location which is now assumed by QEMU
to be at 0x800.0000.0000.0000 and I do not see an easy way to work
around this.

For example, we start QEMU without VFIO but with emulated XHCI which
will ask for DDW, we (QEMU) have to pick a window location but then we
have to stick to it and if a user later hotplugs an VFIO-PCI, that
physical IOMMU has to support the previously selected DMA window
address; otherwise hotplug is going to fail.

The question is how to tell QEMU about this new offset and what we do
about migration from P8 (which let's say did have a VFIO device which we
unplug before the migration) to P9 with a prospect of hotplugging an
VFIO device but this time with this GTE4GB bit set.

Yeah, this why this is an RFC...

Almost. It should have been HEAD^^^^^..HEAD instead of HEAD^^^^..HEAD :)

I've posted 00/4 to the thread now, sorry about that. Thanks,
