[PATCH] xen-qemu: register virtual iommu device on qemu pci bus
Attached patch is for qemu to register iommu device on pci bus. Guest OS requires this to access iommu pci config space in some cases.

This old qemu branch is basically dead. We will have to give it bugfixes and security fixes, it in parallel with the new trees, for a long time (because old guests may need it). So for that reason I would really prefer not to add new features to it. Would you be able to rebase your work on the upstream qemu ? You will need Anthony Perard''s PCI passthrough series of course, and you will also need to liase with qemu upstream (so I''ve CC''d their list) since it will be their tree that you''ll be targeting. If there is a particular reason why this work should be in qemu-xen-unstable then please do say. I''m open to being persuaded. Thanks, Ian.
