Given the need for 4K doorbell such that QEMU can easily map, ect, and
assuming that I have a HW device which exposes 2 VQ's, with a notification
area off of BAR3, offset=whatever, notifier_multiplier=4, we don't need to
have 2 x 4K pages mapped into the VM for both doorbells do we? The guest
driver would ring DB0 at BAR4+offset, and DB1 at BAR4+offset+(4*1).
The 4K per DB is useful how? This allows for QEMU trapping of individual
DBs, that can then be used to do what, just forward the DBs via some other
scheme - this makes sense for non-HW related Virtio devices I guess. Is
this why there is a qemu option?
