I'm confused by the sentence above, do you think it could be reworded
or expanded to clarify?
PCI BAR addresses are not in the guest kernel, but rather in the
physical memory layout made available to the guest.
Also, I'm unsure why xen_initial_domain() needs to be used in the
conditional below: all PV domains handle addresses the same, so if
it's not needed for a PV dom0 it's likely not needed for a PV domU
either. Albeit it would help to know more about what
AMDGPU_PASSTHROUGH_MODE implies.
Thanks, Roger.
