[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/4] libxl: do not attach xen-pciback to HVM domain, if stubdomain is in use

[Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HVM domains use IOMMU and device model assistance for communicating with
PCI devices, xen-pcifront/pciback is used only in PV domains.
When HVM domain has device model in stubdomain, attaching xen-pciback to
the target domain itself is not only useless, but also may prevent
attaching xen-pciback to the stubdomain, effectively breaking PCI
passthrough.

Changes in v2:
 - previously called "libxl: attach xen-pciback only to PV domains"
 - instead of excluding all HVMs, change the condition to what actually
   matters here - check if stubdomain is in use; this way xen-pciback is
   always in use (either for the target domain, or it's stubdomain),
   fixing PCI reset by xen-pciback concerns
