It is better not to duplicate the efforts if Yu Zhao is working on it. Otherwise, I would be interested on it too.

I am also interested in this and would be willing to do some work
on breaking out the patches to address Jan Beulich's concerns[1]
about accreditation. And to bring the patches up to date with the most
recent Linux patches. The main problem that I see with the latter
that 2.6.18.8's PCI stack is now quite old, so using that as
a target would be more work than for instance using the paravirt ops
work that Jeremy Fitzhardinge has been working on.
