There are exactly zero:
$ find . -name "*.c" -exec grep -l "case offset" {} \;

We have 300+ devices in QEMU that use #defines. We're not using this
kind of thing just because you want to copy code from the kernel.

Not yet, but working on that.

No, this whole thing is flexible. I had to use BAR2 because BAR0 has to
be the vram mapping. It also had to be an MMIO bar.
The new layout might make it easier to implement a device like this. I
shared it mainly because I wanted to show the subclassing idea vs. just
tacking an option onto the existing virtio-pci code in QEMU.
