Hi Friends,
                 if I have a PCI device with 128MB behind it, is it possible to use this
PCI-mapped memory as main memory for guests?
(instead of the usual way of assigning the RAM pages as main memory for guests)

I have already made the VMM permit the guests to read/write the PCI memory. But
here the guests run from the RAM behind the CPU. I would like to boot a guest
from the PCI memory rather than from the RAM behind the CPU.

I appreciate your suggestions and technical help on how to achieve the above as well.

Thanks,
Dinesh C
