Ok, I've done this now.

I switched from xm to xl, when I try this command it gives me this error:
pci-assignable-remove: malformed BDF specification "0000:02.00.0"
I also tried it with the format 02.00.0, and I tried it with 
pci-assignable-add, and I
also tried it with another device.

So I should blacklist the radeon driver then right? I can do this because only 
my AMD
graphics card uses this driver. I'm not sure what to do about the HDMI sound 
device
though, because I have many components using that driver.




02:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Tahiti XT HDMI 
Audio [Radeon
HD 7970 Series]
    Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd. Device aaa0
    Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

I can't get that command to work. Thank you very much for your help.
