FWIW, after this discussion, I don't have an objection to the basic
interface in this series as it is, since it addresses my request that it
be memory-based, and it could be switched to using p2m types
behind-the-scenes -- with the exception of the knob to control how many
ranges are allowed (since it exposes the internal implementation).
I wouldn't object to the current implementation going in as it was in v9
(apparently), and then changing the type stuff around behind the scenes
later as an optimization. I also don't think it would be terribly
difficult to change the implementation as it is to just use write_dm for
a single IOREQ server. We can rename it ioreq_server and expand it
later. Sorry if this wasn't clear from my comments before.
A new interface that's been carefully thought through would of course be
nice too.
