[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for 2.12] vfio: Use a trace point when a RAM section cannot be DMA mapped

[Eric Auger]

The 567b5b309abe ("vfio/pci: Relax DMA map errors for MMIO regions")
added an error message if a passed memory section address or size
is not aligned to the page size and thus cannot be DMA mapped.

This patch fixes the trace by printing the region name and the
memory region section offset within the address space (instead of
offset_within_region).

We also turn the error_report into a trace event. Indeed, In some
cases, the traces can be confusing to non expert end-users and
let think the use case does not work (whereas it
works as before).

This is the case where a BAR is successively mapped at different
GPAs and its sections are not compatible with dma map. The listener
is called several times and traces are issued for each intermediate
mapping.  The end-user cannot easily match those GPAs against the
final GPA output by lscpi. So let's keep those information to
informed users. In mid term, the plan is to advise the user about
BAR relocation relevance.
