Yeah, I will try to add tracing to DMA actions. However, can address bars
influence DMA actions, mainly if provided by Dom0 for DomU.

More precisely, if I bypass address bars logic (in pciback) and write the
addresses directly to the PCI config space, isn't Xen Dom0 confused and
possibly sets up DMA transfers incorrectly? I.e., which part physically sets
up the DMA -- Dom0 or DomU?
