In my new test setup, I have seen some strange behaviour. 1 of the HVM's
(with identical config in dom0 and domU) suddenly would not allow the
igb driver to be loaded in domU, even though the device was visible in
lspci. Shutting the machine down, removing the power cord, waiting 5
seconds then plugging it in again corrected that issue - Is this
possibly a motherboard bug? I have also disabled the SR-IOV
functionality in the BIOS incase this is causing any issues.
In addition, to try to correct the MSI issue noted above, I have changed
my pci= line to the following:
pci=[ '08:00.0,msitranslate=0', '08:00.1,msitranslate=0' ]
This has stopped the "already in use on device" log, and the devices
appear to show correctly in the domU. Is it safe to disable
msitranslate? as I understand it, its for allowing multifunction devices
to be seen as such in domU. Is that correct?
I haven't been able to reproduce the dropped raid issue yet, but I am
awaiting delivery of the Red-Fone boxes (ISDN VoIP) which seem to cause
this due to their very high interrupt usage (2000 per second).
In the mean time, I can see the following in the qemu-dm logs now with
the msitranslate=0 enabled. Is it anything to worry about?

I will do this when I can get the machine to crash.
