I just noticed that this appears to have been fixed by Daniel De Graf
just a few days ago, see 22711:4f6fee3a456e, which may only be in the
staging tree at http://xenbits.xen.org/staging/xen-unstable.hg since we
are waiting for a test pass.


Ian, Daniel

 my patch is almost like Daniel's one.  Thank you for pointing to it.

And there's one absent thing in Daniel's commit (4f6fee3a456e). To complete the gfx passthrough issue for xl we should pass this option to qemu-dm, like this :

+        if (info->gfx_passthru) {
+            flexarray_set(dm_args, num++, "-gfx_passthru");
+ flexarray_set(dm_args, num++, libxl__sprintf(gc, "%d", info->gfx_passthru));
+        }

I suppose, without it 'qemu-dm' won't know about gfx_passthru mode and won't load passthru'ed vga bios.

Daniel might plan to add this code or added it already?
