There was discussion about a patch to hide the platform pci device sometime within the last two months. Did this patch ever get committed? I need to test GPLPV driver installation onto a machine that doesn''t have the platform pci device installed (eg a non-xen physical machine that might later be migrated to a DomU), and hiding the platform pci device would be a nice easy way of doing that.

Are you talking about hiding the qemu devices via writes to the platform fixed ioports, which definitely is in there? I''m taking about hiding the platform pci device itself so that it doesn''t exist in the DomU. I think the mechanism for this was going to be a ''hide_platform_pci=1'' in the config file or something. Apologies if I got that wrong though.
