Sure. But the generated IPA is outside of the range the VMM has asked
to handle. The IPA space describes the whole of the guest address
space, and there shouldn't be anything outside of it.

We actually state in the documentation that the IPA Size limit *is*
the physical address size for the VM. If the VMM places something
outside if the IPA space and still expect something to be reported to
it, we have a problem (in some cases, we may want to actually put page
tables in place even for MMIO that traps to userspace -- see my
earlier work on MMIO guard).

Does it make sense to you?
