I did some testing today, and think it is not a regression with para-
virtualized Virtio devices.
Indeed, I thought it would be a regression with Legacy devices when
IOMMU is enabled and the program is run as non-root (IOMMU enabled
just to suport IOVA as VA mode). But it turns out para-virtualized
Virtio legacy device and vIOMMU enabled is not a supported configuration
by QEMU.
Note that when noiommu mode is enabled, the app needs cap_sys_rawio, so
same as iopl(). No regression in this case too.
That said, with real (non para-virtualized) Virtio device using PIO like
yours, doesn't your patch introduce a restriction for your device that
it will require cap_sys_rawio whereas it would not be needed?
Thanks,
Maxime
