RE: [Xen-users] AMD-V or VT
If you search the archives, you will find that it is a bit
complicated. I don't know if I'm getting the details right, but I think
basically you can pass PCI through to HVM guests without VT-D, but you need
VT-D to pass through to PV guests. If this is accurate, it may also apply
to AMD-V without IOMMU. I could be all out of whack, though, and it may be
that VT-D doesn't even work for PV without hacking, I don't remember the
details, and I haven't done it.

Does that mean that current and older Opterons *can't* pass a PCI device
through to a guest, or that they don't do it as efficiently as on the Intel
VT machines? I've been pulling my hair out trying to get a fully
virtualized guest access to a PCI card on an Opteron 1220.
