Why do you need 'struct ism_vfio_pci_core_device'?
Unlike other vfio_pci variant drivers your struct only has a single member.
I see it is used below as well, but couldn't you directly use 'struct vfio_pci_core_device'
in all places?

As you know something like

> + length = 8;
} else {
unsigned missing_bytes = 8 - (off % 8);
length = min(count, missing_bytes);
}
would suffice to fullfill the requirements for pcilg to BARs.
But your code works as well.

I think you also need to check for off+count not crossing 4k

Where do you free 'data' ?
