Hi:

I am trying to understand the current pass-through device in Xen.  To
my understanding, Xen can hide a PCI device from Dom 0 and exclusively
assign it to a guest OS (dom U), right?
Does Xen support to assign one device to multiple guest OSes? Does
current pass through require Intel -VT or AMD SVM? Where is the source
file for the pass-through function? Is it in xen/drivers/passthrough?

BTW: I tried to install OpenSUSE with Xen on QEMU 0.9.1 for Windows
but cannot boot into Xen, anyone has similar or successful
experiences?

Thanks,

Jiang
