Questions about direct hardware access, DMA, etc

I have a general question about the state of various efforts aimed at granting a domU physical access to a hardware device like a NIC, graphics card, etc. I generally understand the challenges this poses to a hypervisor in terms of interrupts and DMA. I am specifically wondering about what options are available when running non-Paravirtualized

[Patch] Make memory hole for PCI Express bigger and prevent roll-over
Keir, Here''s a first patch to address the issue with rolling over to guest-physical address 0x00000000 when assigning address regions to PCI BARs during HVM boot. For now, this: - Makes the hole bigger: 0xC0000000-0xF5000000. This might be overkill...but it should only matter for 32-bit guest OSes assigned more than 3GB of RAM. - Prevents addresses from above 0xF50000000 from

Using VT-D to grant a Windows DomU access to a PCI Express graphics card?
I''ve also been trying to get hardware-accelerate Direct3D to work in a (Windows) DomU via VT-D. I''ve got a PCI NIC passing through fine, but not a graphics carrd. The points below describe where I''m at and what is happening. I''d appreciate any help anyone could offer, and also I have these specific questions: Is PCI Express supported by VT-D and/or

virsh vs. xm, and questions about different distributions of Xen
Virsh (the xm-like tool that comes with libvirt) uses .xml files to define and describe DomUs. xm uses simple configuration files to define and describe DomUs. Is there any interoperability between these two? Like can virsh take an xm DomU config file, or vice versa? Or is there a tool to translate between them? On a somewhat related note, can anyone tell me at a high level what is different
