If I understand correctly you've already found the explanation why
test case worked?

Yes, but I used O_APPEND when writing my message.

Multi-transaction works faster in complete_mmio, so read_emulated()
should use it by doing int n = min(size, (unsigned)KVM_MMIO_SIZE).
Other code in read_emulated() is still needed since it provides read
re-play for multiple mmio reads during instruction emulation.

Not concerned about speed here.

Core support for large mmio feels correct, but the duplication doesn't.
