[Xen-users] Which QEMU device-model to use for Windows HVM guests???

[cyberhawk001@xxxxxxxxx]

Just wondering about which QEMU version to use. Looking in the xl.cfg 
MAN page, you can choose from "qemu-xen-traditional" or  "qemu-xen", 
however i have seen a third one "qemu-dm" WHICH is not listed in the 
xl.cfg man page.
I know the "qemu-xen-traditional" device-model is the default one as it 
is more stable, compatible and so forth. The "qemu-xen" is the qemu 
upstream one and i am sure still not so stable without tweaking, BUT 
have read that f you want to use IOMMU (pci passthrough), than 
"qemu-xen" doesn't have support or is buggy, or something like that. I 
do want to use PCI passthrough so i guess that is not an option. 
HOWEVER, i have read people use "qemu-dm" and don't know how different 
is that compared to the other two choices.
SO, considering creating a VM to be of type HVM, such as any flavor of 
Windows, which qemu device-model would give the best results using Xen 
4.2-unstable??
