Okay, so it's a simple mailbox in config space.  Which by itself is
probably a very reasonable idea - more or less what I suggested.
However, using such a generic facility just for the dirty bitmap seems
too limited.  Please make it accept arbitrary commands. Reusing admin
command structure with a special "device itself" group sounds like one
way to do it.
