I think for some time I wondered if this mattered, because I wasn't
sure when the guest CPU would actually regain control to check an
intermediate state in the memory area before we wrote the next FIS.
But, trusting your quoted blurb, I think this is more obviously
correct.

ACK

(Although, there seems to be a conflict on latest origin/master - can
you rebase, please?)
