I don't see the point of VFIO knowing about guest addresses. They are

I suppose what you really care about here is just a token for a specific 
device? But why do you need one where we don't have tokens yet?
I think this is going to be needed when doing in-kernel acceleration
of some of the RTAS calls, but yes, Gavin, why do we need that now ?

Cheers,
Ben.
