[Xen-devel] RE: [PATCH] re-enable HVM PCI passthrough functionality
I have updated the patch to indicate valid_mfn() cannot be used here as MMIO
pages are always above max_mem. Also added sanity checking for type ==
p2m_mmio_direct before clearing page table entry. This should fix both VT-d
and SR-IOV issues reported recently as there are no SR-IOV specific code in
Xen. As far as Xen is concern, SR-IOV virtual function is just another PCI
device.

Also apologies from my side. I did what Tim requested for, but that
one slipped through.

I'm interested in if this patch fixes the SR-IOV issue. We are still about
investigation...
