 Hello everybody,
 following this link [1] it looks like that we can configure pass-through
 devices for KVM guests,
 so if it is the case and as you said KVM doesn't implement any Vt-d
 specification,
 are there any protections in place for DMA attacks?
 
 
KVM uses VT-d on a host for device assignment. Guest running inside KVM
will not see VT-d though since KVM does not emulate it.

 So another question comes up in my mind:
 what's the purpose of the host devices assignment if I cannot use it for
 the guest?
 
I do not think you understand what I am saying. You can use device
assignment for a guest.

 Hi there,
 
 I would like to know if KVM supports interrupt remapping and queued
 invalidation. I could not find it in the kvm source code.
 I also noticed that these features are in KVM's TODO list. Is that
 accurate? Any pointers or direction would be appreciated.
