I think this patch is OK (compare the subpage_register() call in subpage_init(), the guards in subpage_register(), etc), so Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <peter.mayd...@linaro.org> though I dunno that I'd claim to be familiar with the memory region code ;-) 2/2 is definitely not a trivial patch, though -- it's trying to fix a long standing deficiency in qemu's mmio region handling. I gave 2/2 a quick test and it seems to pass the right offset through to the read/write handlers, but Avi should definitely review it... On a related note, the comment above register_subpage which includes remarks about how this special case doesn't work seems to now be rather out of date since it's still talking about function parameter names which no longer exist. -- PMM
