Hi All,
This is just a heads up on the steps involved in getting a HD4550
working with the ATI driver as a pv guest on a Dom0 with no IOMMU
support. The main issue with making this work was providing a way for
the guest to read the vga bios.

To resolve this I dumped the BIOS on dom0 to a file and copied it into
the guest, then patched radeon_bios.c to provide a means to load it from
userspace with the following result.

The changes made were in `drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_bios.c` where I
added the following method, and a call to it in `radeon_get_bios`
static bool radeon_load_bios(struct radeon_device *rdev)
{
const struct firmware *fw;
if (request_firmware(&fw, "radeon.bios", rdev->dev) != 0)
return false;
rdev->bios = kmalloc(fw->size, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!rdev->bios) {
release_firmware(fw);
DRM_ERROR("Unable to allocate bios\n");
return false;
}
memcpy(rdev->bios, fw->data, fw->size);
release_firmware(fw);
return true;
}
I hope this helps anyone else trying find a way to just pass the bios
into the driver without having to resort to hvm. It would be nice to see
a patch to `drivers/pci/rom.c` that does the same thing, but chooses a
bios name based on the pci device instead, allowing the opportunity to
override the pci rom with any provided file both for testing/debugging
and corner cases like this one here.
Kind Regards,
Geoffrey McRae (gnif)
