[vfio-users] vfio-pci late loading, built-in or initramfs

2016-10-11 Thread Muted Bytes
I have recently installed an AMD card for my host system, and my vm guest is also using an AMD card. On the host, I am using radeon driver but would like to prevent the guest getting radeon loaded.

[vfio-users] Kernel 4.14 and ACS / grouping

2017-11-26 Thread Muted Bytes
I recently updated to 4.14 series kernel, and noticed some differences regarding ACS override / IOMMU grouping.
