Given the dma_addr looks good to me, I think the result is a "pass"?

0x8000000000 stuff are the PCI bar memory space that isn't supported
well yet, which shouldn't break a DMA test with 2-stage translation.

I think so. Try the same test in the host and see if it returns a
similar print, just ignoring those QEMU logs.

OK.
