This patchset introduces PCI passthrough support for KVM. This has been tested with an Ethernet device. The device is seen in the guest and interrupts are generated. However, no data transfer can take place unless pvdma or reserved-ram is used. The patches for pvdma will be available shortly.
Sharing of interrupt line for the PCI device on the host side will cause slowness (and / or some glitches). Also, proper locking isn't in place yet. Single VMs exploiting this feature run well though. There also is a git repository for you to explore: git-pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amit/kvm.git git-pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amit/kvm-userspace.git Comments, feedback welcome.
