TBH, I shuffled this to the bottom of the review pile because you're depending on a patch series for ARM MSI mapping that's still very much in flux. You've really got 3 or 4 separate patch series here that should be separated so they can be sent as non-RFC and you can start making progress. For instance, patches 1-4 are PCI-core enabling PAGE_SIZE aligned BARs, patch 5 discovers PAGE_SIZE aligned BARs and enables mmapping them through vfio. Now that you're using shadow resources to attempt to reserve the remainder of the page in patch 5, doesn't that make it independent of patches 1-4? These could be sent as separate series in parallel. Patches 6-9 are another separate series, but here you start to depend on the changes happening with ARM MSI mapping to determine whether we have real interrupt isolation. Once that gets settled, patch 10 becomes a much less controversial follow-on patch.
