+ * qxl_phys2virt: Get a pointer within a PCI VRAM memory region.
+ *
+ * @qxl: QXL device
+ * @phys: physical offset of buffer within the VRAM
+ * @group_id: memory slot group
+ *
+ * Returns a host pointer to a buffer placed at offset @phys within the
+ * active slot @group_id of the PCI VGA RAM memory region associated with
+ * the @qxl device. If the slot is inactive, or the offset is out
+ * of the memory region, returns NULL.
+ *
+ * Use with care; by the time this function returns, the returned pointer is
+ * not protected by RCU anymore.  If the caller is not within an RCU critical
+ * section and does not hold the iothread lock, it must have other means of
+ * protecting the pointer, such as a reference to the region that includes
+ * the incoming ram_addr_t.
