[PATCH 2/2] vfio/pci: Remove vfio_pci_core_setup_barmap()

From: Matt Evans

Date: Tue Apr 21 2026 - 13:43:58 EST


Since "vfio/pci: Set up barmap in vfio_pci_core_enable()", the BAR
mapping and resource acquisition are done at setup time, and most uses
of vfio_pci_core_setup_barmap() are now unnecessary. Remove the
callers, and the function.

Some callers used it to also test if a mapping is present before a
direct access, and these places now do a simple test of
vdev->barmap[].
