Thanks for tracking this down.

Following patch fixes the problem:

I see from git blame that some time ago you did similar change in all other
pci_set_* pci_get_* functions except these two.

Is there any specific reason you did not change these two functions then?
The patches where I changed the other functions were cleanups
to convert away from some legacy *_to_cpupu() functions, which
were specifically intended to work with unaligned pointers
(which is what the "u" indicated). I was doing the cleanups
per-conversion-function, not per-callsite, and since these
two functions aren't using a _to_cpupu() function but just
_to_cpup() they wouldn't have shown up in my searches.

In any case this is the correct fix, and we should probably
audit the other uses of *_to_cpup and cpu_to_* -- I suspect
many of them are working with possibly-unaligned
pointers in to guest memory and we should replace them with
ld*_*_p functions and get rid of the _to_cpup functions entirely.

thanks

git grep shows lots of places. Is it ok to send a new version of pull request with Dmitry's fix first?

Thanks
