From: David Woodhouse <d...@amazon.co.uk> It isn't strictly mandatory but Linux guests at least will only map their grant tables over the dummy BAR that it provides, and don't have sufficient wit to map them in any other unused part of their guest address space. So include it by default for minimal surprise factor.
As I come to document "how to run a Xen guest in QEMU", this means one fewer thing to tell the user about, according to the mantra of "if it needs documenting, fix it first, then document what remains".
