See my other reply.

Hm, here's an oversight on my part: I think I should provide explicit
bmdma hooks, since pcibus_t is a uint64_t and target_phys_addr_t is a
uint{32,64}_t depending on the guest machine, so it might be buggy on
32-bit wrt calling conventions. But that introduces yet another
non-inlined function call :-(. That would drop the (void *) cast,
though.
