At the moment we unconditionally avoid mapping MSIX data of a BAR and emulate MSIX table in QEMU. However it is 1) not always necessary as a platform may provide a paravirt interface for MSIX configuration; 2) can affect the speed of MMIO access by emulating them in QEMU when frequently accessed registers share same system page with MSIX data, this is particularly a problem for systems with the page size bigger than 4KB. A new capability - VFIO_REGION_INFO_CAP_MSIX_MAPPABLE - has been added to the kernel [1] which tells the userspace that mapping of the MSIX data is possible now. This makes use of it so from now on QEMU tries mapping the entire BAR as a whole and emulate MSIX on top of that.
