Yes, something similar will also be used by PHYSDEVOP_pci_mmcfg_reserved, but
that would require hypercall continuations instead of processing pending
softirqs.

Were would you recommend adding it? Take into account that's also going to be
used by other code apart from the ACPI Dom0 builder, like the PCI BAR mapping.
Thanks, Roger.
