I'll have a look at that one. I have actually just implemented the same
sort of thing but trapping writes to the platform pci io space. It's
just for debugging so I haven't done rate limiting or anything.
A port 0x12 debugger would be better as I could log stuff even before
the Xen PCI ioport range is mapped.
