Quite possibly, I'm not familiar with the cirrus HW. The trigger is an MMIO register write done by cirrusfb, which causes cirrus_update_memory_access() to switch the BAR to emulation as a result of this becoming true: s->cirrus_srcptr != s->cirrus_srcptr_end I haven't had a chance to dig further today (I'm home now), I can have a look tomorrow.
