Commit 99605175c (xen-pt: Fix PCI devices re-attach failed) introduced
a subtle bug. As soon as the guest switches off Bus Mastering on the
device it immediately causes all the BARs be unmapped due to the DMA
address space of the device being changed. This is undesired behavior
because the guest may try to communicate with the device after that
which triggers the following errors in the logs:

[00:05.0] xen_pt_bar_read: Error: Should not read BAR through QEMU. @0x0000000000000200
[00:05.0] xen_pt_bar_write: Error: Should not write BAR through QEMU. @0x0000000000000200

The issue that the original patch tried to workaround (uneven number of
region_add/del calls on device attach/detach) was fixed in later QEMU
versions.

Do you know when the issue was fixed?

I haven't tracked down a particular version but the previous behavior of
memory_listener_unregister() was to remove the listener from the list
without calling the callback. It has changed since then and now the
callback is called in listener_del_address_space().
