I have the following code now:

int domain_vpci_get_num_mmio_handlers(struct domain *d)
{
     int count;

     if ( is_hardware_domain(d) )
         /* For each PCI host bridge's configuration space. */
         count += pci_host_get_num_bridges();
     else
         /*
          * VPCI_MSIX_MEM_NUM handlers for MSI-X tables per each PCI device
          * being passed through. Maximum number of supported devices
          * is 32 as virtual bus topology emulates the devices as embedded
          * endpoints.
          * +1 for a single emulated host bridge's configuration space. */
         count = VPCI_MSIX_MEM_NUM * 32 + 1;
     return count;
}

Please note that we cannot tell how many PCIe devices are going to be passed 
through

So, worst case for DomU is going to be 65 to what we already have...

This sounds scary a bit as most probably we won't pass through 32 devices most 
of the

time, but will make d->arch.vmmio.handlers almost 4 times bigger then it is now.

This may have influence on the MMIO handlers performance...

Thanks,
