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.

Thanks,
