So the issue it that we hide the MSI target region from the device models for a "short periods of time"? How short is this? It would be good to fully understand what goes "completely wrong" to avoid that we miss to fix something else (IO-APIC, HPET) or even paper over a problem of the memory subsystem. > > This patch raises the priority of the kvm-apic memory region, so it is > never pushed out by PCI devices.
