That would still not work I think where swiotlb is used for pass-thr devices

So that is a separate question. When there are multiple untrusted
devices, at the moment it looks like a single bounce buffer is used.

Which to me seems like a security problem, I think we should protect
untrusted devices from each other.


Definitely. That's the model we have for ivshmem-virtio as well.
