Three major issues:
1) single mmap() works at page level, it means we need map 64K to guest
and we can only do this safely if no other registers are placed into the
same page
2) new uAPI to let the userspace know the offset
3) how to model them with the virtio-pci in Qemu, and this may introduce
burdens for management (need some changes in the qemu command line) to
deal with the migration compatibility
So consider the complexity, we can just stick to the current code. That
means mmap() will fail and qemu will keep using the eventfd based kick.

Sure.
