Thank you for your reply Stefan.

I tried to add my MMIO device on an existing machine thinking that memory area 
could be "handled" by different devices.
I thought that MMIO device was just notified when IO on a 'monitored' address 
space occurs.

I solved the problem by creating a QEmu machine. Then I added my Device as a 
MMIO memory space.
