Actually, in ioport.c::kvm__emulate_io(), if kvm->cfg.ioport_debug is true, it
will print an error and then panic in kvm_cpu__start(); otherwise the error is
silently ignored. serial.c is another device where an unknown register returns
false. In rtc.c, the unknown register is ignored. cfi_flash.c prints debugging
information. So I guess kvmtool implements all possible methods of handling an
unknown register *at the same time*, so it's up to you how you want to handle it.

Agreed.
