I could for emulated devices but VFIO uses the same code. For example, there is an IBM SCSI IPR card which does a "self test". For that, it saves MSIX BAR content, does reboot via some backdoor interface and restores MSIX BAR. It has been solved for VFIO in the host kernel by restoring MSIX data from cached values when guest is trying to restore it with what it thinks is actual MSIX data (it is virtualized because of x86). But there is cache in the host kernel and I am trying to avoid cache here (or put it into the device). -- Alexey
