The input/output parameter names seem to counter-indicate such use.
Namely, AllocateBuffer() outputs a "HostAddress" param, and Map() takes
a "HostAddress" param. Plus we have sentences like this:

Under PciIo.Map():

Under PciIo.AllocateBuffer():

This second passage says *the* buffer. (Emphasis mine above.)

Right, in that case we'd have to build a list of allocated ranges (an
interval tree of sorts) in AllocateBuffer, and convert any
CommonBuffer[64] Map() call to its containing allocation with a search.

It would be worse than that, actually... The pattern you have raised
could be taken one step further: do one AllocateBuffer(), and several
CommonBuffer[64] Map()s into it :) What should happen if those maps are
distinct? What should happen if they overlap? :) I can't even imagine
what this would mean for SEV.

... There are guide-like sections in the generic description of
EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL; Andrew quoted them earlier:

Look at page 854 (printed page number: 784) in UEFI 2.7.

Thus, I don't think the usage you raise is permitted.

Thanks!
