Hi, I know pciutils (lspci, setpci, pcilib) has been ported to OpenSolaris. pcilib read/write pci configure spaces via direct port access which bypasses the OpenSolaris kernel. I don't think this kind of implementation is good when security and race condition come to mind. Is there any plan to create a kernel path to let libpci utilize (something like /sys/bus/pci and /proc/bus/pci exist in Linux)?
I also post this on xen-discuss list since when we try to implement Intel vt-d in xVM, qemu (a device simulator running in user space) will find a way to access pci configure space, which call for such kernel path.
