How so? Please elaborate so that we can fix those.

Btw, your reproducer works fine with -cpu kvm32 - only vncviewer's
window gets killed after a "Rect too large: 640x480 at (0, 0)" but
when I reconnect again right after it I see an X window asking me to
calibrate my touch screen and I'm at a loss as to where my touch screen
is... :-P

Yeah, the idea is to basically switch to uncacheable memtype as when
MTRRs are disabled.
