Could you please try the following region:
{
.phys_start = 0x86dff000,
.virt_start = 0x86dff000,
.size = 0x0b700000,
.flags = JAILHOUSE_MEM_READ | JAILHOUSE_MEM_WRITE |
JAILHOUSE_MEM_EXECUTE | JAILHOUSE_MEM_DMA
},
the size 0x0b700000 will make the page aligned, and the hypervisor
doesn't need to trap. In that case, JH_MEM_IO_{8,16,32,64} is not required.
Thanks
Ralf
