*is* pci-passthru known/supposed to work in F9 DomU?
No. Only block, network and framebuffer devices were implemented in the F9 DomU kernel.
argh. not what i was hoping to hear :-/ but, good to know (should it be added to the 'release notes', above?), i've been spinning my wheels here.
any rough sense for a 'when' it'll be back? soon-to-F10, i'd guess, but *any* add'l guidance would be helpful ...
This isn't what you'll want to hear but...
To be perfectly honest, it is not really a high priority. Our priorities are getting the DomU stuff merged upstream & working reliably and continuing the Dom0 work, since those impact every single user of Xen. Unfortunately PCI pasthrough is quite a niche userbase, so its hard to justify work on it in the short term given limited resources. If someone has skills & time to volunteer to work on the PCI passthrough stuff.....
