Xen users - Jan 2008 - direct assignment of PCIe virtual function to domU

Hi all,
 
I have been using Xen for a couple of weeks now. 
 
So far, I could run domU with direct access to the NIC using late
binding method.
This way NIC is giving a throughput close to that of native linux
system. 
 
Now I would like to know whether Xen supports the direct assignment of
PCIe virtual function to domU.
If yes, how could I do this?
 
Thanks and Regards,
Masroor

I have a 2 CPU/ / 8 core Intel box, 250GB SATA disk and (2) Intel Gig E
NICs.
With some tunings I provided earlier, I get 100MBytes/sec from each of the
two DomUs.
Nothing more than using the bridging methods as posted on RedHats
Knowledgebase.
