RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] [VTD] Update vtd.txt

Hi Stephen Spector,
Can you help to update the Xen wiki http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo ?
Thanks!

How to enable MSI/MSI-X for assigned devices?

Before changeset 18127: 89d05940cc1c:
Add an option "msi_irq_enable=1" in grub. It should appear like "kernel xen.gz 
msi_irq_enable=1 <your other options>".
               
>From changeset 18127: 89d05940cc1c to changeset 18453: 7f1c71c6d4c8:
The paramerter is "msi=1"

>From changeset 18454: 65dc37be0443 on, we always have msi=1. We can't use a 
>Xen grub parameter to set the value.


-----------------------------
How to list the currently assignable devices in a host?
>From changeset: 18047:39c2cab9e765 on, there is a shell utility  "xm 
>pci-list-assignable-devices".
The utility finds all the devices owned by pciback, checks if they have proper 
FLR method, checks if they have page-alinged MMIO BARs, and checks if the 
devices have been already assigned, finally it prints out the assignable 
devices.
Note: the utility assumes the integrated devices (whose bus numbers are 0) have 
proper FLR method.
