Ok, so I can pass one of the virtual functions through to a HVM.  I
think I'm still not out of the water though.  It's acting very
strangely and I have not successfully been able to very layer-2

And if you tried to use the device from dom0, or even baremetal, you
had not trouble with the VIFs, right?

connectivity with it.  I am seeing the following in my HVM's qemu
log:
register_real_device: Assigning real physical device 04:10.4 ...
pt_dev_is_virtfn: 0000:04:10.4 is a SR-IOV Virtual Function

                ^^^^^^^
That does not sound good, but it might be just b/c it could
not find /dev/xen/pci_iomul.

pt_msix_init: mapping physical MSI-X table to 7fe3c4359000

pt_iomem_map: e_phys=20004000 maddr=b2468000 type=0 len=16384
index=3 first_map=1


Now, I never see a pt_msi_setup: msi mapped with pirq XX line, which
leads me to believe that the pass through isn't actually working.  I
am still using the mayoung built xen-4.0.1-6 rpms from koji, since I
have not been able to successfully compile xen stubdom.  I guess gcc
4.5 is just too new and untested for me to troubleshoot and get
through.  Hopefully, someone on here can point me in the right
direction.

Hmm. I am bit out of ideas.. Do you know which line in the QEMU code
would trigger that? You could instrument QEMU a bit?


Yeah, the VIFs are fine in dom0. Also, I have seen reports of other people receiving the /dev/xen/pci_iomul and still getting past it. I will dig around in the QEMU code for awhile and see what I can come up with. Thanks.
Mike
