Thread-topic: PCI devices remap from dom0 to domU with pv-ops kernel
Konrad,

  We choose "Virtual" and the dom0/domU show like this. It doesn't remap to 
what we want. You mentioned about "write your own plugin that would do 
remapping per your desire". Could you elaborate it a bit ? Thanks.

Dom0:
kaan-18:~# lspci -n | grep 11f8
07:00.0 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)
07:00.1 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)
07:00.2 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)
07:00.3 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)

DomU:
kaan-18-dpm:~# lspci -n
00:00.0 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)
00:00.1 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)
00:00.2 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)
00:00.3 0c04: 11f8:8032 (rev 08)

Not completly.

When you compile your Xen PCI backend, you should see an option whether you 
want Virtual PCI, Passthrough or some other type. By default it will pick the 
Virtual one so that it just enumerates from zero the PCI devices. You could 
write your own plugin that would do remaping per your desire.
