GSI wire is platform specific (Qemu as platform) and thus you can
choose any policy including what you're proposing to Xen side.
However to support multiple PCI buses presented to HVM guest,
the major work is in the Qemu:
1. Emulate a virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge
2. Add _PRT information in ACPI table under bridge node, which
stays consistent to Xen's wire logic
If you want PCIe device to be seen as PCIe to HVM guest, you need to
do more:
3. Change above bridge to PCI-to-PCIe bridge (any standard spec?)
(Then advanced PCIe feature like AER/ASPM can't be utilized)
But, any reason that assigned devices can't stay with current single bus
model? :-)
Thanks,
Kevin
