Since kernel commit: 2b2c651baf1c ("vfio/pci: Invalidate mmaps and block the access in D3hot power state") any attempt to do an mmap access to a BAR when the device is in d3hot state will generate a fault.
On system_powerdown, if the VFIO device is translated by an IOMMU, the device is moved to D3hot state and then the vIOMMU gets disabled by the guest. As a result of this later operation, the address space is swapped from translated to untranslated. When re-enabling the aliased regions, the RAM regions are dma-mapped again and this causes DMA_MAP faults when attempting the operation on BARs. To avoid doing the remap on those BARs, we compute whether the device is in D3hot state and if so, skip the DMA MAP.
