Just to confirm, the ask is to just update the comment to reflect the behavior,
right? (I missed to do that in this posting). Because we do redirect the call to
vfio_pci_core_read() here which will perform the read that is within the device
region. The read response to synthesize -1 is only for the range that is outside
the device memory region.

Same comment as above.
