Package: ovmf
Version: 0~20150106.5c2d456b-2

some recent kernels (4.1 - 4.4-rc7) didn't work with kvm GPU passtrough.

see:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203240
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107561

this seems to fixed from 4.4-rc7 on, but you also have to use a more recent version of OVMF (eg.: https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/ ) to get it work again.

see:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/issues/21

i do not know, what ovmf patches are needed to solve this issue, but the most recent snapshot works.

please think about updating the release in debian unstable/testing to use OVMF for GPU passthrough out of the box again.

thanks!
