Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] [VTD] Remove PCI device enumeration for dom0 in Xen
There are already PCI probe and remove callbacks in dom0 (c/s 593 in
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg). So it is not necessary to enumerate devices for
dom0 in Xen.

Espen had a patch (c/s 17975) to do the same thing, but his patch was
reverted in order to allow old dom0 kernels to work with iommu-capable
platforms. Xen 3.3 has been released for a few months, I think it's time
to clean up it. The rebased patch is attached.

Keir, what's your opinion?
