With your changes the guest feels the urge to reassign bars (no idea why but ok), when it does so, it puts both BARs (one is prefetchable) into the 32bit non-prefetchable window of the PHB (SLOF puts the prefetchable bar to a 64bit prefetchable window, I have no idea why the guest does it different either but this must still work) and then qemu does not emulate something properly - unassigned_mem_accepts() is triggered on the bar access - no idea why - I am debugging it right now. -- Alexey
