Older machine types (1.5 and back) don't report PCI hole size to guests so there's nothing to preserve. This means there's not much I can do for pc-1.5: as before this patch, hotplug of devices with large BARs won't work, and some windows guests will crash if a device with a huge BAR is added statically. > (Also, what happens if you do -global i440FX-pcihost.pci_hole64_size=0? > Does that return a _CRS with only the 32-bit hole)? > > Paolo Yes.
