Oops, I missed seeing this go by. The do_unassigned_access
hook is deprecated and you should drop this and use
the do_transaction_failed hook instead.
The distinction between the two is that do_unassigned_access
will end up being called for any failing access, including
not just "normal" guest accesses but also for bad accesses
that happen during page table walks (which often want to
be reported to the guest differently) and also accesses
by random devices like DMA controllers (where throwing a
cpu exception is always a bug).
Changing the hook implementation itself should be straightforward;
commit 6ad4d7eed05a1e23537f is an example of doing that on Alpha.
You also want to check all the places in your target code that
do physical memory accesses, determine what the right behaviour
if they get a bus fault is, and implement that (or at least put
in TODO comments).
