Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/3] qemu-xen-trad: IGD passthrough: Expose vendor specific pci cap on host bridge.

["G.R." <firemeteor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to rework this patch to address Jan's concern.
Here is my proposal, please review and comment before I begin:

The proposal is to read a shadow copy of the exposed host register into
the config space of the emulated host bridge and relies on the
pci_default_read_config() function
to provide proper access.

This methodology only works for constant values, which is our case here.
The exposed value is either read-only or write-locked (for BIOS).

The only exception is that the PAVPC (0x58) register is write-locked
but not for BIOS.
This is exposed for RW and my proposal is to perform write-through in
the register write-support.

I have no answer about this question. *Jean*, could you help comment
since this is from your code?

Thanks,
Timothy
