I had a test with your new patch: the occasional-NIC-doesn't-work issue I
noticed disappeared.
I'll have a look why it disappeared. :-)
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][RFC] Support more Capability
StructuresandDevice Specific
I've done some bug fixes as follows.
1. correct the size calculation of MSI Capability Structure in
pt_msi_size_init(). The next capability might be hidden due to wrong
large size of MSI.
2. modify the decision logic for determining unused Exp ROM BAR in
pt_bar_reg_parse(). Use PCIIORegion table instead of parsing
BAR itself.
3. bug fix on .size_init func for PCI Express Capability Structure
in pt_emu_reg_grp_tbl[].
(pt_vendor_size_init ---> pt_reg_grp_size_init)
4. small bug fix on the decision logic for checking unused BAR in
pt_pci_write_config().
5. add printf message to show overlapped device in pt_chk_bar_overlap().
6. modify pt_bar_mapping() to prevent guest software mapping memory
resource to 00000000h
7. modify pt_bar_mapping() to map resource even if overlapping is
detected.
I've tested my patch with CentOS 5.1 and PCI/PCIe NIC. Without
"pci=nomsi", guest OS can use the assigned NIC and can communicate
with external machine.
Additionally I assigned UHCI Controller to guest domain. Guest OS can
use USB-HDD and USB-Mouse.
Could you test the patch?
I am going to remove list.h and enable MSI.
Thanks.
