This second symbol name should be removed, I initially wanted to implement
for IO as well but there is no good generic way I can see to access a list
of IO AddressSpace to read from.

Hi Rowan,

thanks for this good complement on the virt address read function.

However, to be able to merge a new plugins API function, we must have a 
concrete usage of it, through one of the existing plugin.
What could be a good demonstration of value brought by being able to 
read a physical address?

Thanks,
Pierrick

As you mentioned, you can remove the second one for v2.

And by the way, feel free to integrate this with your other series (as 
it's a very similar topic) in a v3, so we can review both at the same time.

Thanks,
Pierrick
