[vbox-dev] PDM virtual PCI device bar size

[José Massada]

Not sure if relevant but I got the following errors on the log (the machine
still loads) when using the ICH9 chipset:

00:00:11.500658 VMSetError:
/home/vbox/vbox-4.2.10/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PGMPhys.cpp(4502) int
pgmPhysFreePage(VM*, GMMFREEPAGESREQ*, uint32_t*, PGMPAGE*, RTGCPHYS);

RTRCPTR, RTRCPTR, const char*): RT_SUCCESS_NP(rc)
00:00:11.581495 cbRamRange=2097280


And when using PIIX3, I only get this next one:

00:00:11.926143 AssertLogRel
/home/vbox/vbox-4.2.10/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PGMPhys.cpp(2248) int

RTRCPTR, RTRCPTR, const char*): RT_SUCCESS_NP(rc)
00:00:11.926178 cbRamRange=2097280
