As I mentioned in the previous patch, wouldn't this enable vPCI
unconditionally for all the domain? Shouldn't this be instead an optional
feature which would be selected by the toolstack?

I do think so, at least on x86 we signal whether vPCI should be
enabled for a domain using xen_arch_domainconfig at domain creation.

Ideally we would like to do this on a per-device basis for domUs, so
we should consider adding a new flag to xen_domctl_assign_device in
order to signal whether the assigned device should use vPCI.

I am a bit confused with this paragraph. If the device is not using vPCI, how will it be exposed to the domain? Are you planning to support both vPCI and PV PCI passthrough for a same domain?

Cheers,
