Thread-topic:	PCI Passthrough without VT-d

As I read XEN supports assigning a pci device to an unprivileged domain without hardware supporting it. Has anyone already tried it? Are there any security risks? If I understand correctly how PCI passthrough works the performance should be the same as using the pci device in native mode. Is it so? I have a PCI video card which would like to use inside a VM running Windows XP.

Thanks and have a nice day,

Jan
