I am not sure it makes sense to optimize here if it makes the code more
complicated and the eventual goal would rather be to have a dedicated
memory area for the device I/O memory rather than a full mirror of guest
memory. Specifically because that full mirror already is quite wasteful,
so… it was my understanding that the full mirror is mostly for testing
anyway.
