Since the userspace VMM (e.g. QEMU) loses direct access to private memory of 
the VM, the guest needs to avoid using the private memory for (virtual) DMA 
buffers, for example. Otherwise, it would need to use bounce buffers, i.e. we 
would need changes to the VM. I think we can try that (i.e. add only bounce 
buffer changes). What do you think?
