[Xen-devel] [PATCH] [VTD] Enable pass-through translation for Dom0 |
Taking security into accout, it's not suitable to enable pass-through
translation for Dom0 by default when the pass-through field in extended
capability register is set. This feature is for people/usages who are
not overly worried about security/isolation, but want best performance.
With Dom0 use of pass-through, it reduces the IOTLB pressure for other
devices assigned to guest domains.
Keir,
Is it possible to add a command line option to control whether this is
enabled?
