libvirt users - Mar 2012 - PCI-X card controlled by VM

Hi all,

I have a PCI-X card which I would like to assign to one of my VM guests.
Is there any way, using libvirt, of completely bypassing the host system,
and routing all PCI-X interaction (drivers, interrupts, general ownership)
to one of the VMs?

Thanks,
Daniel Gonzalez

Yes, you can use device passthrough to completely transfer control of a
PCI device out of the host and into one of the guests.
