Hello everyone,

just wondered after I read about devices passed through in HVM if the following if still true: (for Xen3.2.1)

- a Domain running in HVM cannot get forwarded any other device than a USB device.
- the USB device forwarding is not too stable
- PCI forwarding is not possible without processor support and Xen support.
- The GPLPV tools won't change anything with that.

Because if forwarding PCI devices to Xen HVM DomU would be possible that would be highly cool because it would enable me to use a PCIe-card that is definitly not supported with Linux in a Windows DomU where it is supported quite well.

Thanks a lot for your information refresh :D

Regards
Joti
