Please elaborate. All of PCI config? All of PCIe config? Seems like a huge mess.

Yes.  Anything a guest's device driver may want to access.

The 'check' items are already done, not fully tested; probably available next week.
Can we leave the others for future patches? Please?

Hey, I was expecting we'd have to do all of this. The requirements list was to get the uio maintainers confirmation that this is going in an acceptable direction.

We can definitely proceed incrementally.

And I definitely need help with
the PCI config stuff.

Sure.
