Ok, I'll do that.

Yes, it takes 3 minutes to run this test on my laptop.

Thanks for the idea. I'll try to run all the requests in a single qemu process.

Do you mean zero PRD size here?

The specification says that a value of zero in PRD size indicates 64K.
That's why we have the following code in bmdma_prepare_buf():
    len = prd.size & 0xfffe;
    if (len == 0)
        len = 0x10000;

That case is already tested in my version. Let me quote the code above:
>> +    for (size = 0; size < 65536; size += 256) {

Best regards,
Alexander
