In fact it's exactly what passthrough does.
I wonder if more bits from ./hw/i386/kvm/pci-assign.c
can be reused. How do you poke at the host device? sysfs?

Yes, sysfs.

Thanks
Tiejun

Then you should be able to re-use large chunks of
./hw/i386/kvm/pci-assign.c: basically everything
that deals with emulation.

Do you mean those hooks to get info from the real device? Xen have its own
wrapper, xen_host_pci_get_block(), so we always go there in xen scenario.

Thanks
Tiejun

Yes and that's not good.  We have two pieces of code doing mostly
identical things slightly differently.
hw/i386/kvm/pci-assign.c is a bit younger so it's cleaner,
but these really need to be unified.


Sorry, take a look at this again,

xen_host_pci_get_block(XenHostPCIDevice *d, int pos, uint8_t *buf, int len)
        |
        + xen_host_pci_config_read(d, pos, buf, len)
                |
                + pread(d->config_fd, buf, len, pos)

I thinks this should be same as kvm.

Thanks
Tiejun
