This patchset has two patches:
[1] 8-byte writes to non-mapped MMIO are broken into pairs of 4-byte writes, 
this patch makes such pairs atomic.

[2] Enable 8-byte accesses in vfio_region_write and vfio_region_read.

Patches based on master.

  vfio: Set MemoryRegionOps:max_access_size and min_access_size

I think these patches need to be squashed to be bisectable.

No, I think it's fine.  The point of patch 1/2 is to indicate that the
hardware supports 8-byte accesses, which will still be broken into 2
4-byte accesses because we don't yet set the implemented width beyond
the default.  The important part is that the mutex will now group the 4
byte access pair together rather than letting them get re-ordered.
Patch 2/2 then implements native 8-byte access.  I appreciate them
being separate for this subtle nuance, but maybe I'm not seeing the
same issue as you.  Thanks,

I agree, the patches looks fine as is.

Sorry, I misread the first patch, thinking that indicating hw support for 8 byte required implementation of 8 byte.
