Hi,
I tried your patches. Acutually, error messages in xend.log have gone.
So, the problem that PCI config can't be read correctly, is resolved.
However, my D-state problem is not resolved yet.
In a PCI HBA card, qemu-dm.log shows:
check_power_state: Error: Failed to change power state. [00:03.0][requested sta
te:3][current state:0]
Probably this is a hardware problem. After that, an HVM guest can't
boot up from its disk again.
Thus, for the present, I'll still set 'pci_power_mgmt=0'.
Thanks,
Kouya
