Hmmm, turns out I celebrated too soon.  Crashed hard with "lost
interrupt" on hda and hdd this evening.

I hadn't noticed a performance hit, but that's a purely subjective
opinion as I haven't done any proper measuring.

Unfortunately I have quite a few IRQs being shared between dom0 and
the two domUs that I have passed hardware to.  I'm using all 5 PCI
slots so I'm a bit limited in my options, though I am hopeful I can
get my IDE controller isolated on its own IRQ.

I'll post as I learn more...  and of course I'd appreciate any suggestions.

The only other boot options I'm using are dom0_mem on the dom0 and
swiotlb=force on the domU with a PVR150 and PVR500 (mpeg capture
cards) passed to it.  The swiotlb=force was necessary to get the
cards' ivtv driver to load.
