Missing corresponding documentation in docs/formatdomain.html.in to describe the new mode. What happens if you try to use this mode but you have an older kernel? Do we need to add any sanity checking to give a saner error message than just blindly trying the string and reporting back whatever message gets returned about an unknown argument? The rest of this patch looks okay to me (with my disclaimer that I've never used an SRIOV card), but I'd rather wait for a v2 than push this without documentation. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
