Re: [Xen-devel] Intel VT-d/Neocleus 1:1 mreged code for PCI passthrough

[Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For passthrough to HVM guests without hardware IOMMU (e.g., VT-d), I
developed the attached prototype patch. I think this may already be in the
XCI tree. It also applies directly to Xen 3.4 branch, and could be applied
quite easily with a small amount of manual intervention to xen-unstable. If
passthough on 'old' system without hardware assistance is what you're after,
you might want to give the patch a go.
