That's OK. The question is if memory_region_set_log should work on both
invisible AND visible regions. The former makes it a bit-flip service,
the latter requires a larger machinery.


BTW, what's broken is legacy VGA mem dirty logging. Was simply dropped
during the conversion, and now I'm missing some links between vga core
and its users to reestablish it generically.
