Xen users - Feb 2013 - Xen SR-IOV 10 Gbit/sec NIC Virtual Function PCI passthru tutorial on EL5 Xen

Hello,

I wrote a tutorial about doing Xen SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF) PCI passthru
with Intel 10 Gbit/sec ixgbe NICs with RHEL5/CentOS5 Xen dom0.

The tutorial shows how to use the SR-IOV VFs on the following VMs:

- RHEL5/CentOS5 PV domU.
- RHEL5/CentOS5 HVM guest.
- RHEL6/CentOS6 HVM guest.

I''m planning to create another tutorial in the future using more recent
dom0 distro,
most probably CentOS 6 Xen dom0. Hopefully this is useful for people :)
