Most likely, either this or something similar is called on a userspace
device driver. Can you check if this is triggered by starting X?
If so, we'll have to emulate this instruction, which will be a bitch.
Not just in the emulator, also in the userspace interface. We only
support up to 8 bytes mmio.
Our options in fixing this are:
- extend mmio support to 16 (32? more?) bytes, require new kernel and
new userspace
- use coalesced_mmio for this
- if the mmio happens for a non coalesced mmio region, we flush
immediately
- what if userspace doesn't support coalesced mmio? (unlikely these
days)
- doesn't work for reads (unlikely for 16 byte accesses?)
