Thanks for the clarification. Follow-up question: Looks like the initial support for Hybrid I/O will allow individual HBAs (or PCI-E slots) to get assigned to guests, so all devices visible via that HBA will be directly attached to the guest. Does this guest now classify as an I/O domain, can it be used as an I/O path for virtual devices attached to other guests? Or are those devices just for consumption by this particular guest?
