Matt Bruzek, regarding unbind not working in Saucy, looks like you may have exchanged one bug for another. :) If you test v3.10-rc5-saucy in Saucy, does unbind still not work and the kernel still not crash?

I was following instructions described in this KVM document: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM When I get to the unbind step: echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind I get a kernel Oops. Please note at this point I am not running the kvm guest, just trying to unbind the PCI device. I do have VT-d enabled in the bios and a processor that supports IOMMU. This problem is repeatable and appears to be isolated to the unbind command.
