Re: [Xen-users] driver domains / PCI passthru on amd64

["David Goodlad" <dgoodlad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Johnny

I am running an x86_64 system here and pci passthrough does seem to
work for paravirtualized guests.  You won't notice any effect in your
dom0 (ie: it will still show up in lspci).  However, if you check your
dmesg, you will notice a message like 'pciback: grabbing device
nn:nn.n'.  This means that the pci backend driver has claimed
ownership of your device, denying other drivers access, and ensuring
that it can be passed off to a domU when needed.

Hope that helps!
Dave
