Hi Tom,

pci_iomap() can possibly return NULL here and also in
vfio_mem_readwrite().  Even if there are no security implications
(unintended access to low I/O ports?), I think you still have potential
for an Oops in the code below.

... unless there's a reason why pci_iomap() can't possibly return NULL
in these instances.  Maybe I'm missing something.

Regards,
Andy
