Re: [Xen-devel] PCI delegation works, access to the delegated NIC doesn'

attacker could cause a *little* bit of havoc on the pci bus (affecting
devices in other domains) by messing with registers like the BARs or
possibly DoS other devices by changing the interrupt pin.
I guess that is true for some users, even though it was never our model
for driver domains. Of course the BARs are actually off limits, since
you have explicit handlers for those. :-) But your point is taken.
Having explicit handlers at least for some common devices is not a bad
idea, to allow some common system configurations to run without needing
to set permissive mode.
