Marcelo,

The splitting has been done in emulator_read_write_onepage:

	while (bytes) {
		unsigned now = min(bytes, 8U);

		frag = &vcpu->mmio_fragments[vcpu->mmio_nr_fragments++];
		frag->gpa = gpa;
		frag->data = val;
		frag->len = now;
		frag->write_readonly_mem = (ret == -EPERM);

		gpa += now;
		val += now;
		bytes -= now;
	}

So i think it is safe to remove the splitting in read_emulated.
