Could the virtual device model introduce new registers in order to avoid
poking at the ISA bridge? I'm not sure that you "can leverage from GPU
pass-through support once it's in Qemu", since the Xen IGD passthrough
support is being added to a separate machine that is specific to Xen IGD
passthrough; no ISA bridge hacking will probably be allowed on the "-M
pc" and "-M q35" machine types.
