Xen users - May 2008 - pciback question

Hi there,

I know assigning devices, such as pci network card, to domu with
pciback works really rocks. I also know that pciback method only works
with paravirtual domu, right?
Well, what about full-virtualized domu''s?

Anybody knows something about it?

Thanks in advanced.
Boris.

There are a few threads at the line below that suggest that basic support
was added in 3.2, and that  IOMMU support (e.g VT-d) is needed as well.

You may want to take a look out the information for yourself as well.
Others may have more details to add.

Cheers,
Todd
