I've added some patches in the pvops tree that make this work. You would
essentially have to backport the pciback driver to the XCP
infrastructure. And you might have to backport the event channels as
well, not sure about that.

 I will take a look at the patches.

No.

So if I have XCP + NIC installed in pci-e slot and interrupts shared with another device, pci passthrough should work fine, is this correct?
